My 2006 Odyssey tailgate will not open. It IS NOT the automatic opening type that is on the Touring model.

My wife used it leaving the house and locked the car at Costco. When she came out the tail gate would not open.

Is there a way I can release it if door handle will not work?
Thanks Lem

Hello,

It sounds like you may have lost a fuse or the power supply somehow lets start by checking the fuses

Here are some diagrams (Below) that will show you the liftgate components and wiring diagrams to help us see what fuses run the system.
