I have a 2002 Pontiac aztek and ive checked the fuses and even the fuse under the hood my rear hatch will not open by key or by button I cant get to my lights in the back if they need to be fixed im not sure what to do when you do push the button or try to turn latch you can hear it trying to work is there a manually way to by pass this thanks

Sorry to say,but no there is no easy way,you may have to do disassemble the back hacth to release the lock.

how can I do that if I cant get to the bolts or anything. if I hit a bump it says rear hatch open which its not I took the fuses out and try to rest and nothing happen

thank you yea the florida heat is killing me myself im just hopeing that my light bulb don't go out any time soon

I have a 2001 Aztec had the same problem I took the back cover off and replace the two side locks and no more problem

Contact someone, including at a local junkyard, about how to open the rear top hatch manually. Involves taking some parts off and possibly a bit of damage - also sticking some sort of probe in to loosen a latch on each side. But doable.

I have an 03 Pontiac aztek My ignition switch is lock as is my steering wheel I'm having trouble with my key going in even when I get my key in it won't turn please help

Hi I had same issue and my garage unplugged the BCM and re plugged so it reset and the latch opened works since
