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?
i need to find out if the rear headliner lights stay on when rear hatch is closed,if it stays on you will need to replace the latch,to get to it you will to remove trim that is oevr the tag,and the plastic panel that is on the hatch.
i had same problem with my vehicle, i replaced the fuse and now it opens it from inside, but out side button still doent work
A pipe inside the rear hatch has diconnected, simply remove the plastic inner panel inside the hatch and reconnect
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.
I don't know how to fix the main problem but if you climb in the back of the Blazer in the middle of the hatch you will see a little round plug if you pop this out use a flashlight to see inside on the right side there is a lever if you pull it toward you all the way you will hear it click then you can open your hatch and window.
Mine has a similar issue when the rear window hatch releases (for no reason it will just pop open). In order to shut off the interior lights while I'm driving there is an "override" button to the left of the steering wheel on the dash. If I hit that then I get all the same symptoms you described, the rear washer does not work because the "rear hatch is open", the remote won't work and the radio will shut off when I stop the car until I close the rear hatch and hit the "override" button again. Hope that helps.
If its in a hatch back the harness between the hatch and the body often goes bad The switch and the fuse are common problems.
I have to pull a fuse to get mine to work and then replace it. It only works once, so every time I want in the hatch, I have to open the hood, open the fuse box, remove and then replace the fuse. I can then open the hatch once.
remove the inside trim or cut a hole to reach the mechanism and replace the inside trim.
does the key work? the cable is problably stretched.
I fashioned a "key" from a stone chisel and attached a show shovel handle. The chisel end needs to look like a bar about 3/4" x 1/8" It works fine.
