I just noticed mine was not working yesterday as well. I haven't had time to dig into it yet with the holidays.

Likely the wiring between the body and the hatch where it flexes under the rubber boot.

Did you check the fuse? It's #12 in the junction box. The junction box is the fuse panel inside the cabin, in the passenger side kick panel.

I don't know what you mean by "can not Find timer in the instrument
Cluster." It's wholly integrated, not a separate part.

How did you test the relay?
