If you just want to release the lock, there is a small door on the inside right side of the door panel. Remove the small door and stick your finger through the slit in the sound deadening material. You will feel a metal lever behind the material. Push down on the lever and the lock will release. You can now open the liftgate from outside. To access the entire mechanism: Pull the rear panel after removing any seen screws,there are two hidden in the carpet,on the lower left and right of panel.once panel is pulled back,remove sound deadening material.Reach into the center and left side facing out of latch.grab the steel rod and pull up.this should release the hatch. Sometimes the steel rod becomes completely disconnected from the latch mechanism due to breakage of the plastic fastener that normally connects the upper threaded end of the rod to the lift handle. In that case, reach down farther to the actual latch mechanism housing just above the floor of the trunk area. Find the small lever that the bottom of the steel rod normally connects to and pull up on it to release the latch.

How do you replace the lf door latch on 1995 Grand Cherokee Laredo?
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.
