Unlocking the rear hatch of a 2006 Chevy Equinox. All you have to do is push the button that is inside the glove department of the car.
Key backup?
press remote unlock button twice
If the key starts the car and you just need to program remote. I just bought a 2000 beetle and had this same problem. Just unlock the rear hatch and lift it up, then unlock driver door with key and push either lock or unlock and it will program the remote to lock, unlock, doors rear hatch and arm alarm
It does not open.
gants, I have Denali 2004, the rear AC blower not working
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
On my '02' Expedition the rear actuator went up leaving the door stuck in the locked position, the key nor the key fob would unlock the door. I had to get a locksmith to unlock the door to get the rear panel off then take it in to get the actuator replaced. If this is your problem then if you get a locksmith to unlock the rear door, make sure you take the panel off so you can unlock it from inside.
The rear hatch can be replaced by another hatch from an 82 to 92 firebird or camaro.
Under the rear of the car. Loosen it up from the bolt on the floor just inside the rear hatch. Use the lug wrench
Unfortunately I've been having the same issue. If I lock the car, then unlock the car, the hatch won't open. If I drive it once or twice without locking the car again, the hatch is magically unlocked. I wish I knew the logical answer to this problem!
May be a BCM glitch or the rear trunk latch there is a recall from gm about the rear hatch latch
