<P>A few weeks ago same thing happened with my 89 syncro. Read your manual again. There is something in there about vertical and horizontal key positions. Leave the hatch lock in the open position ( manual is at home) so that it is only locked by the central lock system. It will open itself eventually.</P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;Hi All,
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Has anyone experienced intermittent failure of the rear hatch lock (88
<DIV></DIV>&gt;wolfy with power locks)? It occasionally will not open, it feels like
<DIV></DIV>&gt;the key is not engaging...
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
