The elecrically-retractable towbar of my Cayenne is stuck out. It feels utterly solid but I'm getting a big red warning message that the hitch is not locked and the LEDs on the control buttons in the boot are flashing wildly. The car is 2014 but the towbar was fitted by an OPC when I bought the car probably 3 years ago.

I've tried pulling fuses etc to reset it to no avail.

Is this likely to be fixable by the replacement of the failed parts, or do I have to resign myself to essentially buying a complete new unit? The OPC wants to charge me £280 to diagnose the fault, which seems a waste of time and money if the only remedy is complete replacement...

I’m not being smart , but a belt of a hammer often works in similar cases.
