I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with your vehicle. Have you spoken with your dealership for a diagnosis? Please let me know.

Thank you!

Sound like something is causing it to get power all the time. Maybe the switch has gone bad. I'd check to see if voltage is getting to the actuator when it shouldn't be.

The clasp mechanisms have control rods that extend to a pivot in the middle of the hatch. The actuator is what moves the pivot to pull the rods. Disconnect it from the wiring harness and see if the door latches. Check for voltage from the harness, it should have none when the button isn't pressed.

when I remove the wiring harness it latches and closes fully
