Is There a Way to Manually Unlock 2019 Honda Ridgline Tailgate with Pop & Lock System Installed

Question:

I have purchased the Pop and Lock PL 8600 for try 2019 Honda Ridgeline. If there were an electrical problem - say a wire broke- does the gate stay locked? How would one trouble shoot that- since there is not a manual lock access?

If the wiring on the Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Lock # PAL8600 were to become damaged somehow then there isn't anything built-in that allows you to unlock it but you could also install the Manual Lock w/ Handle # PL6250 to avoid that situation. This kit adds the ability to lock and unlock the tailgate on your 2019 Ridgeline manually in addition to the power lock you installed.
