2007 Vue hatch open, but hatch release is closed, won't release.

SL2 Ride · 11-20-2022, 08:36 PM

I hauled a door, and had to close the latch to use the latch hook for a bungee cord.

Now when I hit the remote to open the latch it doesn't open.
The actuator works, I can hear it. But the latch stays closed.
I tried prying the latch while I hit the remote, and I got it halfway open, but not enough to be able to close the hatch.

Anyone know a good trick to fix this?

Solved.

I tried prying it one more time and it opened up fully.
Had me worrying that i'd need to disassemble the lock.

Just pull the handle.
