Subject:Re: nearly embarassing non-newbie newbie rear hatch lock question
From:Anthony Egeln

My rear hatch auto lock USED to work..... when the auto locking system worked.  Since the system died the hatch lock is always locked.....I have to insert the key, turn it to the right, then depress the key to open the door.  But as soon as it's closed it is locked again.   Sooner or later (probably later) I'll figure out how to fix the auto locking system.

we have a n 87 westy with central locking. Now, I always assumed that the
central locking would not extend to the rear hatch,  until I read a post on
the syncro list of it not working in manual mode......
well, what elde could it work in?
Is the rear hatch part of the central locking? or was that only an option? I
also dont have a rear wiper, so maybe I have a simpler hatch? And, if it
should, what would typically be broken if it doesn't?

thanks
