once you have the hatch unstuck...(longish) Posted by baggsly [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: 900 hatch lock stuck, Tushy, Tue, 15 May 2012 17:44:10 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
as others said, take off the hatch panel cover. you will see (looking from inside car) a black plastic cover with a flat metal bar across it towards the left side. that is the actual locking motor.
there is a plastic piece that the round metal actuating lever pushes into to hold the rod into the motor. if that plastic piece is broken (one of the "ears" broken off), the rod will fall out, and your hatch will not unlock.
you can use a metal speed nut (those flat things) of the right size to retain the rod in place. IF that's the case with your hatch.
i'm not sure if you're saying the power locks are not working at all (no clicking from trunk/pass. door, or if they are functioning and the hatch/door themselves are not unlocking? or is it a matter of the key not turning the actual lock itself?
can you unlock the passenger door from the outside with the key? it's only when you try and use the power locks that it's a problem?
mark :-)
