In this video, you will see a clever way to open the tailgate lock from the inside using a simple piece of wire: the boot lock does not open when operating the button. The lock was tested by the YouTuber, who confirmed that everything was in order, so the problem seemed unsolvable, but he did not lose heart.

He removed the connector from the button and used a simple paperclip bent into a bridge, inserting it into the connector, thus creating a bridge that allowed the lock to open, which now works perfectly, as does the button.
