You’re the man! I’m at a festival, my battery died and needed to get my hatch open to load up the car before someone came and jumped the Edge! You always come through!! Thank you!

Another 8 minute video that should only take 30 seconds, MAX.

[@vzhickok]

This video could have been about 30 seconds long.

Tried that couldn't find lever so what do I do

[@ryanmyers5413]

I have a 2015 model. It is alot smaller and less room I'm having trouble getting it to release.

[@craigartzner]

I can easily pry off the access cover, locate the lever as you showed in your video, but nothing is happening when I push down on the lever. Trunk lid still won't release. 2013 Lincoln MKX.

[@heathermarchiafava1732]

Mine does not have that large of a hole and I can’t see any lever to push. Help!

[@smc4lcc]

I had my back window shatter and glass got into the inside of my rear hatch. The manual release doesn't resolve my issue, do you have any other ideas of how i can open my back hatch?

[@atamabantao6475]

Do you have a video to replace the rear door/hatch actuator motor? Or can you please make one if none yet? Thank you.

[@keithswedlund1302]

Oh just get to the freaking point!😉😀

[@heidilefevre2680]

If you don't like the video just don't watch it rather than run your mouth and say nasty stuff. Nobody wants to hear you. Go to another channel

[@jeremyfredericks5163]

So my hatch will not open nor will it open from the inside so how can I get my hatch open?

[@davidmarbut4755]

Saved my a** Mact! I had to take out my headliner to fix power sunroof and forgot to leave the deck open

[@slimyclips]

I was able to open the liftgate manually using this technique. However, it will not open or close with my key or the push button on the dash. If I push the button with the liftgate open, I get a chime and the message "Life Gate Ajar." If I push the button with the liftgate closed, I get nothing. Any ideas? Is there a fuse or reset connected to the gate?

[@slimyclips]

Nevermind. Fixed it. Pulled the fuse tied to the liftgate. It wasn't blown but as soon as I put the fuse back in it started working again. Still, your video was helpful at first!

[@raeshelled]

will this work if the battery is dead?

[@MACTFordEdge]

yes

[@raeshelled]

Thanks! We got it to work!

[@jhdez613]

Sr.. any idea for odyssey 1998 without square panel from inside? !! Please thank you so much!! Anyone able to help me thank you all

[@drexellake4051]

My 2014 doesn't have access like this. The door is there, but no latch within reach. What an utterly stupid idea.

[@137ramiro]

Not on a 2015 titanium

[@exil3dlivecom]

Hey guys, what about the power version. It's only a small hole to push the button. But it does nothing. If there a secret?
