Hi everyone,
My 2017 civic lx hatchback would not unlock the hatch. However if I turn on the rear wiper the hatch unlocks. Anyone have any insight on this? The problem with this is I can't use the rear wiper while driving as it would open the hatch. And I can't unlock the hatch without turning on the rear wiper. What's going on...

Sounds like an electrical fault. If you still have warranty take it in.

It fixed itself this morning. We did have a severe thunderstorm yesterday maybe some water got in and helped conduct the current?

Still needs to be addressed. I would take it in and ask them to look at it as if it is moisture, there could be a seal leaking that needs to be replaced.
