Can you hear the lock motor in the hatch? If so, there's just a push rod which goes to the latch, and the latch mechanism isn't too complicated. If the lock motor isn't working, then either a loose wiring connection or broken motor.
Either way, take off the upholstry panel on the hatch. My '89 has a plastic "box" covering up the latch mechanism, open that & look for something broken. Watch the mechanism while somebody locks & unlocks the doors. Or you should be able to lock & unlock it by pushing the rod back & forth. If something is all rusted, dismantle it, clean it good, lube it & put it back together. (Or replace it?) You may want to check all the gaskets & stuff which "should" prevent a lot of water from getting in there in the first place.
If the motor doesn't work, look for loose connections or broken wires. The wiring comes from under the headliner between the hinges, so maybe it got pinched & broken up there. A voltmeter will tell you if the wires have power.
