If the latch is damaged, you may need to replace it by removing the interior panel to access the latch assembly. Reassemble everything carefully, ensuring the latch aligns properly with the hatch.

How do you fix a back hatch door that will not unlock on a 1998 Subaru Legacy Wagon All other doors open with both the key and the inside unlock feature.?

I have a 1998 Subaru Legacy Outback wagon and have the same problem. I climbed in the back and removed the back panel on the hatch door. Then I noticed the latch on the locking mechanism was getting stuck halfway. I wound up climbing into the back every time and moving out of the stuck position every time I wanted to open the hatch door. About a month ago a friend who borrowed my car noticed that if you pressed the unlock button on the front passenger side door it would unlock. I was very surprised when I found this out, but it worked. I'm not sure if that's a fluke with just my car, but it might work for you. Otherwise you could try climbing into the back like my first method. Good luck!
