First you take the door panel off. Just pull it off carefully so you don't destroy the little plastic push pins that hold it on. Unplug the remote mirror control. Then you remove the inside door handle by removing the two screws and the bar/lever. Unplug the wire connected to the latch body. It breaks pretty easily, but don't worry about it because the new latch will have a new connection on it. Remove the 3 screws on the end of the door holding the latch in place. You don't have to remove the electronic door lock mechanism. There is a lever running from the latch to the keyhole that has a snap holding it. Unsnap it a push lever aside. Unscrew the top of the door lock and try to work the bar down to where you can get it out the inside of the door. Work the latch around until you get all the levers off or disconnected from their source. Reverse it to put it back in.
The trade light is on. Generally, the repair in a Ford far outweighs the usefulness of the remaining diminished use of said vehicle.
You can change the door latch, on your 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee, by removing the latch retaining screws. Remove the latch rod. Reverse the process to install the new latch.
Its the lock/latch mechanism
It is part of the latch.
I too just had this problem. Last weekend i replaced the Trunk Struts, i ordered them offline and replaced them myself. I have no mechanic experience and it was a pretty easy fix. The struts coasted roughly 20 dollars a piece, you need 2. The hardest part of the new installation was undoing the screws. If your problem is a latch that won't open the rear hatch, I had to remove the interior panel and readjust the linkage from the handle to the latch at the bottom of the door. It is a press fit that can be snapped apart & then tightened up with minimal tools.
If broke you probably will need to use a screw driver to break it open and replace. I don't know any other way in without breaking the lock.
Yes you just have to hit the latch... And it will make the first pop... Then all u have to do is release the hook... I had a '95 Pontiac grand am... I could slide my hand through the grille and release the hood...
I have a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo...It does NOT have a latch system.

The actuator (part of the latch) in one door has failed.The actuator (part of the latch) in one door has failed.
the door can stick closed if the latch mechanism isn't kept clean and lubed. To open it-you must go through the inside and pry away the plastic door panel. i used a plastic puty knife to avoid damaging the panel or door. Once you separate the pannel enough-reach your arm in and pull (up)on the latch lever. once opened you can grease the latch assembly and replace the panel. have fun!
Salvage Yard?E-Bay?
What kind of Pontiac? Bonneville, Grand Am, Grand Prix, Firebird, Sunbird, Sunfire, Parisenne, etc? You probably have a bad latch, replace it I just ran across this on my car and all I had to do was check latch alignment and align the latch
The door latch will need replaced.
The door ajar switch is part of the latch. Broken wires in the door harness is a common failure.
The Pontiac Grand Prix door latch has adjustments to move the latch up and down and in and out. Loosen the adjustment screws. Keep moving the latch in one direction or the other, until the door catches the latch.
To repair the rear latch on the 2006 Suzuki gran Vitara keyless entry you need to first remove the latch from its position. Next, spray the latch with WD40 to loosen it and either replace it or hit it softly with a hammer until it starts to work.
There should be a sticker located on the front end of your jeep along side the hood latch with the vacuum hose diagram. If you do not see it there, it will depend on the year as to what diagram you need.
