The rear hatch won't open. I understand that I need to replace the Door Lock Accuator. How do I open the hatch when it won't unlock though to replace it? Is there a button somewhere or manual lever? There is NO key hole.
The liftgate consists of the following components:
Liftgate Latch Actuator
Removal and Installation
SECTION 501-14: Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems
2001 Escape Workshop Manual
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Liftgate Latch
Removal and Installation
NOTE: Position the liftgate latch release rod by pushing outboard to remove the slack.
To open hatch refer to this video, all are similar to open when latch solenoid goes bad.

The doorlach pin is faulty.
On newer vehicles it is inside the door on the locking mechanism.
It is stuck in the closed position, or has become dislodged.
Refer to your mechanic for repair.
SOURCE: handle on rear hatch door broke off.how can i open hatch door until i can get a new handle?
you don't. take it into a Hyndai Dealership and have the handle repaired/replaced. The rear hatch panel/cover has to be removed (from inside the vehicle) to access the hatch latch and open the door.. from that point the handle can be replaced/repaired.

the unlock or popper for the door needs to be replaced. the door should work with a key.
SOURCE: HHR back hatch problem
It most likely will be the fuse for the hatch, I would definately check out the fuse before trying other things. If the fuse is ok then it could be the release motor on the hatch.
Good luck..

you could use some lithium grease and spray it in the general area of the latch and hope it lubes the latch enough to loosen it to open. but it will cause a mess spraying it

Isn't there a handle above the license plate?
