The radio/thermostat window power locks and usb slowly started to malfunction. Now the screen to the radio and thermostat does not work at all. The wiring harnesses located at the rear hatch which has no visible outside damage, yes all the wiring inside is pinched and exposed. The only way we discovered it was because the back wiper blade went out. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.
When opening the back hatch, all the doors will randomly lock or unlock. The hatch light does not work. The rear window, back hatch, wiper cleaner will not work. Attached is a picture of the wiring harness for the back hatch. All the wires have been cut just from regular opening and closing of the hatch due to the fact where it is located and that when the hatch is closed it bends all that wiring in half. As you can see from the picture at least 5 are completely broken and many more are almost completely cut.
Lift gate wiring harness becomes weak and brittle causing wiring to fail. This wiring feeds all lights and functionality on the read lift gate. Dealers will repair which last a short while until failure again.
