Just trying to find out if the rear tailgate lock on the wagon locks/unlocks as other doors via the central locking/drivers door.

 

yes it does work along with the other doors as the central locking is operated

 

Thanks rigga,

Ive got myself a wagon, just was not sure if the tailgate was suppose to unlock/lock with part of the central locking.
Not the same as the saloon which I have been use too, by pulling the lever by the drivers seat/floor.
Just another thing to fix great.

1998 UK wagon does it too.

 

My wagon is a 94wrx but the tailgate is from a 95wrx.
I removed the plastic cover last night & found the soleniod attached to the latch/lock mechanism, so I guess there must be a wiring fault some where.

I just got confused as a friend of mine has a uk 97 wagon & he told me that he had to lock/unlock his tailgate with the key. It did not operate with the central locking & there is no lever inside the car.

 

use a test lamp and operate the central locking to see if there is a feed at the solenoid,,,, will determine if the solenoid is faulty or there is no feed to it so need to look elswhere

 

broken wires in the top right hand corner inside the rubber boot are quite common due to the opening and shutting of the tailgate.
