Mondeo 2.5T titx Estate 2008 with a locked tailgate. Yesterday all was OK but now it won't open although everything else works fine. Strange thing is when I press the remote unlock button the indicators flash. BTW, this is keyless entry. Any experience of this and any help appreciated.

    If it's so common you could've found the answer by searching instead of starting a new thread... :whistling: 

    Of course you'll probably find a load of threads like this where the OP fixes it but doesn't share the repair. :tongue:

    Wow a reply! [emoji57] Shame there was none forthcoming when I needed the help!
    Yes I searched and found lots of threads, all useful but not in my case, hence a new thread. After all the usual like checking fuses, ripping out the latches, tracing "none fault wires". I actually found the fault at F5 iirc, (rear window wiper).... and that's a new one on me [emoji6]
