In this video, you will learn how to determine if the electric lock on the tailgate of the Hyundai i20 needs replacing. The tailgate is stuck and cannot be opened with the remote.

The YouTuber has removed the screws from the inside of the tailgate to easily take off the rear cover. There is also the possibility of attempting a manual unlock by inserting the key into the internal slot, but in our case, this is also jammed.

Even when giving it a push, the mechanism does not respond, so you will need to dismantle it and replace it. You can easily find the part on various e-commerce sites, such as neryuscarparts or ovoko.it, and it costs less than £40. Now, remove the gear by taking out two screws from one side and one from the other.

Refit it, reconnect the connector, and give it a push.

It works! Refit the cover, and you're done.
