If you have a newer model, with the remote unlock built in to the ignition key, press the button that looks like a trunk opening. This will open the tailgate but leave the other doors locked. Otherwise, press the Unlock button TWICE - this will unlock ALL doors, including the tailgate.
In the 2002 Subaru Outback, the hatch release lever is located on the driver's side door panel. It is typically a small, rectangular button or lever that can be pressed to unlock the rear hatch. Additionally, there may also be a release button on the key fob, allowing you to open the hatch remotely. Make sure the vehicle is in park for the hatch to open properly.
To remove the rear hatch door panel in order to fix the lock on a Subaru Outback you will need a Phillips-head screwdriver, small flat screwdriver, trim pry tool, and tack puller. Using these items you need to remove the push clips and pry the trim from the hatch.
If the rear hatch of your 1998 Subaru Outback won't unlock with the key or electric switch, you can try using the manual release mechanism. Look for a small access panel or cover near the latch area on the inside of the hatch; removing it may reveal a manual release lever. If that doesn't work, you may need to access the hatch through the rear seats by folding them down and reaching the latch mechanism from inside. If none of these methods work, consider consulting a professional locksmith or a Subaru dealer for assistance.

You can open the driver's door and press the "unlock" switch on the armrest. This should unlock all the doors, including the rear hatch. If it doesn't, your solenoid that operates the lock needs to be replaced. For that, see your Subaru dealer.
The rear reservoir is part of the front reservoir with a separate pump. The pump is located at the bottom of the reservoir closest to the left front fender. The hose then goes through the firewall up over head between the roof and the headliner then comes out on the upper left hand side of the rear hatch. Hope this helps
