The back hatch will often not open if the internal mechanism or release has become damaged. Replacing the latch is the most effective and reliable fix.
I have a 96 Chevy Blazer S-10 and the latch to open the window in the back hatch will not work. How do I replace the motor?? or whatever to repair?
You open the back hatch door and pull the panel away from the latch and push down on the lever to the lock the lock will then pop open and you can shut the hatch
To manually open the rear hatch of a 2002 beetle can be hard depending on weather the hatch is closed or open. If needing to manually open a hatch you will have to take the plastic cover from the inside of the hatch then push the latch open.
Our mechanic had to climb through the inside of the car, into the trunk area and open it by removing the hatch cover. That's the only way he could replace the latch.
you need to crawl in the back of the trunk, where the latch is for the trunk, next to it on left side there is a cable that you can pull to manually relese the trunk/hatch.
actually I broke the hood release latch on my 1991 Plymouth voyager, and I can't get the hood open, what can I do?
You back into a pole. Then the hatch pops open
Open the rear door like any other--Squeeze the handle. If it doesn't open (and isn't locked), it may need service. I replaced the handle/latch mechanism on my 2002 Escape in late 2009. Check for recall applicabilitiy. Seems to me there is something online about a rear latch recall.
Passenger doors need to be unlocked. The latch is directly under the scion emblem
remove the panel from the inside of the rear hatch door and check to make sure the latch mechenism is secure if not push or pull the leads to open hatch door then try to reconnect them
