Since I don't feel like starting a new thread I'mma just throw it here where it doesn't belong (but hey, I did it "today")
The hatch release button on my Jukeys went bad. Here's the long and short of it:
It started by intermittently requiring me to push the button several times to pop my hatch. weird, annoying, no worries.
Then an 'unrelated' annoying problem: the beeping noise that is made when you try to lock your keys in your car (rapid beeping from under the hood) started to randomly and inconsistently happen when I started or shut down my car. Sometimes while driving.
Then my trunk hatch would no longer open by the button. At all. Had to manually open from inside... that's annoying.
Tested button: sure enough, failure to close circuit. Temporary solution: stripped back wire on both sides of button and shorted it out to pop the trunk. Beeping issue happening 'unrelated'.
Order OEM buttom, $70 ish shipped, swap it out.
Beeping problem magically vanishes. Button works. All is well in the world.
Friggin weird.
