E61 Handle won't open tailgate
Discussion
I have always unlocked the car and used the tailgate handle to open the tailgate.
At the weekend a third party tried a different approach while putting goods in my car.
Car was locked and they pressed the tailgate opening button on the key fob several times, it didn't open. I unlocked the car and tried to open as normal with the handle with no success, I then pressed the unlock button on the key fob and opened the tailgate.
I can now only open the tailgate using the key fob button or the button in the drivers footwell.
I don't believe this is a wiring problem, but something to do with the way the key fob was used. I tried the spare key fob, but no difference.
Any ideas?
