CheresX Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 Thank you. I am exhausting all options. A manual release cable is located under the hood and seems to be loose.

Paulinelinker Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 The manual release cable is used for instances where the charging cord becomes lodged. It seems that the standard door lock solenoid has malfunctioned. Not unusual. Dealer warranty assignment. I consistently lubricate my with silicone spray.
