The rear hatch/lift gate would not open with key fob, inside release button or manually with the key - It was a really easy fix after reading the other complaints and resolutions - Thank You

Aztek LX

  • Automatic transmission
  • 84,539 miles

This is the second time we couldn't get the rear hatch to open. The first time it was due to a bad battery. This time it had a new battery, so I started looking on-line and saw to check the #28 fuse. We did. Took it out, turned it around, put it back....Viola! It works!!!!!! No problem.....Thanks to you guys!

Aztek GT V6

  • Automatic transmission

The rear hatch is operated electrically through some thing they call the "Body Control Module". As of about a month ago it stopped opening. Even the key only operated the electric component so there is no way to open the rear hatch. I checked all fuses and they are OK. Has this happened to anyone else?

The fix turned out to be removing fuse #28 (under the hood) and putting it back in. That's all there was to it. But I hate to think about what problem a dealer may have 'found' if I hadn't found this solution.
