Lift gate opens without key fob?

    For some reason, my lift gate is happy to open without my key fob.

    The lift gate does lock, but the problem is that pulling on the life gate button simply unlocks and opens the lift gate, without the key fob at all. So anyone can unlock it just by pulling on the handle.

    Any ideas what could cause this?

    I expect if the vehicle is unlocked already it would be happy to oblige. But if locked, that’s a tough one to describe. I have a standard key vehicle, so my scenario may be different.

    D'oh, ok I'm just an idiot. For some reason I didn't make the connection with the lock status of the rest of the car. All is as expected :D

    That said, my keyless entry and remote lock/unlock stopped working for unknown reasons. Full fob battery, full car battery, no fault codes. Head scratcher!
