What's the reason for the ineffective tailgate button on the XC60?

It is likely due to wiring issues or a malfunctioning electronic trunk switch. Below is relevant information: Introduction: The Volvo XC60 is an SUV model under the Volvo car company, first unveiled at the 2008 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition. This sport utility vehicle combines the performance of an off-road vehicle with the personality of a sports car, specifically designed for young elites seeking sporty characteristics. Exterior: The domestically produced Volvo XC60 almost entirely retains the design of the overseas version, with identical exterior dimensions: length, width, and height of 4688/1902/1658mm, and a wheelbase of 2865mm. The new vehicle is built on Volvo's latest modular SPA platform.
I've been repairing cars for twenty years and have encountered many cases of the XC60 tailgate button not working. The most common issue is a blown fuse, usually found in the engine compartment fuse box—try replacing the relevant one. The button switch itself might also be worn out or stuck; try fiddling with it or spraying some cleaner. Wiring problems like short circuits, breaks, or loose connectors can also prevent signals from reaching the control module. When the battery is low, the entire system becomes sensitive, and the button may not respond. Occasionally, the control unit needs a power reset to reboot. If you notice this problem, don’t delay—start by checking the fuse, and if that doesn’t work, visit a professional shop to read the fault codes with a diagnostic tool to prevent deeper damage affecting usability.
