To open the rear tailgate of the Opel Zafira when it's locked, you may need to replace the fuse that controls its operation. This fuse is located on the right side of the engine bay and can be accessed by opening the bonnet.

Once you have located the fuse, replace it with a new one of the same amperage; this will restore the functioning of the tailgate lock, allowing it to be opened and closed without issues.
