Usually just one of the linking rods that got unhooked, or a doorlock motor that is now malfunctionning. You need to take apart the plastics and covers on the inside of the tailgate to have a clear view of the mechanism and pinpoint the rod that's not working, or pinpoint the motor for the doorlock to test it out. Be warned though, in some cases the tailgate needs to be opened to take the covers off. If you feel like they won't come off at all and don't see any screws left to take out, don't pry too much so you don't break it, and take it to the dealer to get them to open it up. It may cost a bit more, but at least if they break it while taking it off, they're gonna pay to replace it and they will also fix it.

    Glad to hear it then! And yes you did save a bunch. A mechanic at the dealership would've taken about 1h or more to get the job done and they usually charge around 50$ to 60$ an hour. I wish i could've helped more but i'm used to old school systems with linkage rods and such, and also i'm from canada so we don't have too many renaults here, so i couldn't really even know that the tailgate was completely electronically controled.

How can I lock a renault megane 56 plate without the key card as it is not working

Locking/Unlocking the doors from the outside
This is done using the RENAULT Card; see the "RENAULT Card" information in Section 1.
In certain cases, the RENAULT card may not work:
- if the RENAULT card battery is weak, flat, etc.
- if equipment operating on the same frequency as the card (mobile phones, etc.) is used;
- vehicle located in a high electromagnetic radiation zone.
It is then possible:
- to use the key integrated into the card to unlock the front left-hand door;
- to lock each of the doors manually;
- to use the interior door locking/unlocking control (refer to the following pages).
Using the key integrated in the RENAULT card
Insert key 1 into the lock in the driver's door and lock or unlock. Locking the doors manually
Turn screw 2 with the door open (using the end of the key) and close the door.
This means that the doors are then locked from the outside.
The doors may then only be opened from the inside or by using the key in the front left-hand door. Interior locking/unlocking door control
Switch 3 controls the doors, boot and, depending on the vehicle, the fuel filler flap simultaneously.
If a door or the tailgate is open or not closed properly, the doors and tailgate lock/unlock quickly.
If you need to transport objects with the boot open, the other opening elements can still be locked: with the engine stopped, press switch 3 for more than five seconds to lock the other opening elements.
Locking the doors without the RENAULT card
For example, in the event of a discharged battery or the RENAULT card temporarily not working, etc.
With the engine switched off and an opening element (door or boot) open, press and hold switch 3 for more than five seconds.
When the door is closed, all the doors and the tailgate will be locked.
Unlocking the vehicle from the outside is only possible with the RENAULT card in the vehicle's access zone or using the key integrated in the RENAULT card.
Door and tailgate status indicator
With the ignition on, the warning light integrated in switch 3 informs you of the locking status of the opening elements:
- indicator light on, the doors and tailgate are locked,
- indicator light off, the doors and tailgate are unlocked.
When you lock the doors, the indicator light remains lit and then goes out.

I am having problem with my renault laguna II driver door sensor, it will not recognize open door, i don´t know were the sensor is to check it, it appears isn´t a microswitch, may someone confirm...

It is a micro switch and it's in the door latch on the door. If you use the side of a screwdriver blade to push the bit in the latch right up on one of the doors that have working switches ie door light coming on, door open coming up on the dash you will see that the light etc goes out. It's the same for the the laguna 1 and the Laguna 2. All I did to correct the problem on my Laguna 2 was spray loads of WD40 in the latch and it started to work but only for a couple of months so I am getting a latch from the breakers. I can only hope it has a good switch in it.

Tailgate door and window won't open

Check in your user's manual for your fuse location on the rear windshield wiper. These grand cherokee's have electronic actuators in every door. Inside these actuators they have very little motors and move everything via plastic. Very bad design flaw, as most of these actuators are 300-400 dollars to replace. You can find ones in salvage yards for 50 though. On your rear hatch, the door and the window are run by this actuator.
