Seeking Advice on 2015 Kia Venga Tailgate Issue and Warning Light Problem

Hey! I've had a similar kind of pickle with my 2013 Kia Rio. Don't consider myself an expert but I've tinkered around plenty. Took it to my local mechanic and the issue turned out to be a dodgy cable. Had it replaced for 95 Euro and she was good as new. It seems your issue could be slightly different, got any more details? The more info, the better we can help.

Hey there, cheers for the input! Well, my Venga's clocked about 180437 KMs now. The last time I took her in for a check-up was about six months ago, and the mechanic gave me an all-clear then. Apart from the tailgate and the warning light, she's been performing fine - no weird noises or performance issues. Wondering if I should just make a beeline for the workshop or if there's a quicker DIY fix to this. Any thoughts?

Hey again, yeah these things can sneak up on you when you least expect it. I have to say, since your ride's got quite a bit of mileage and the last check was six months ago, it might just be time for another workshop visit. It's hard to nail down exactly what the problem could be without taking a closer look, you know? I could speculate it might be a damaged wiring or a faulty door motor too based on your description, but it's all guesswork at this point. However, if you're keen on a DIY fix, you could try resetting the tailgate by pulling out the fuse and replacing it after a minute or so. But be sure to consider it as a temporary fix. For the warning light, well, it's hard to judge remotely. A professional diagnosis may be the most reliable solution here. But always remember to keep an eye on any sudden changes in her performance. Helps to nip problems in the bud.

Hey, thanks a ton for your advice! You're probably right, I should stop trying to play the guessing game and just take her to the workshop. A professional diagnosis sounds like the safest option, those guys would know what's up. I'll also give the fuse trick a shot, who knows, it might help in the short term. This whole tailgate thing has me in a knot. Fingers crossed the solution isn't too complicated, not a fan of heavy repair bills! Thanks for your help, really appreciate your input!
