My rear hatch can't lock and I did replace the solenoid, and lubricated the whole mechanism. It still isn't locking.

Hello,

This could be a problem with fuse #38 in the main fuse panel on the left hand side of the dashboard. I have included in the diagrams down below a trunk lid wiring diagram, relay diagram, and completer main fuse panel diagrams for you. I have also included a link for you to go to below if you are unfamiliar with how to check a fuse.

Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex
