How do you open the rear hatch on a Subaru Forester?

To open the rear hatch on a Subaru Forester, you can follow these steps:
1. Check the manual: The manual for your specific Subaru Forester model may provide instructions on how to open the rear hatch from the inside. Look for a small hole in the rear hatch with a round plastic plug near the center of the hatch. You can pry the plug off with a flat-blade screwdriver and use it to release the latch mechanism.
2. Use the key fob or button: If your Subaru Forester is equipped with a power rear gate, you can use the key fob or the button on the dashboard to open the rear hatch. However, if the trunk won’t open using the button on the dashboard or hatch, the button itself could be faulty.
3. Check for electrical malfunctions: If the trunk won’t open at all, there may be an electrical malfunction, such as bad wiring, a burnt-out fuse, or a malfunctioning actuator.
4. Reset the solenoid: In some cases, resetting the solenoid can solve the issue. You can do this by locking and unlocking the power door buttons on the driver’s door several times in a row.
If none of these steps work, it may be best to contact your Subaru dealership for further assistance and diagnostics.
Please note that these steps are general guidelines and may vary depending on the specific model and year of your Subaru Forester.
