SOURCE: 2003 Saturn Vue rear liftgate won't open

The easy part is you just need the latch for the liftgate. The hard part is getting to it and opening the liftgate to replace the latch. You should be able to pull the liftgate trim off most of the way with the gate closed and try to manually actuate the latch to open the gate. You may have to go so far as breaking the latch from the inside to open the gate and then replace your latch.

Look at the latch on the end of the door and make sure that the latch is open.You will want to spray the latch with some lube.If it is not open you can flip it with your finger or a screwdriver while holding the door handle like you are opening the door.You can look at the latch on the other door to see what it looks like open.Well hope this helps.

Cannot open liftgate.manual says open liftgate to repair.How do I do that?

The plastic trim pops off at the top around the window. the bottm part will pop off enough to reach down and find the linkage to open the door. the linkage you want to find runs up and down. pull it up or push it down to open. there will be several rods to try. Once you get it open there are two screws on the bottom of the panel to remove it completely. then you can see and access the latch, handle, rods.

The hood latch cable broke under the hood how can i open it

Saturn Vue hood release can be opened (if the cable is not broken) by disconnecting the cable from the back of the release lever, grabbing the ball on the end of the cable with some large pliers ("channel locks") and pulling hard. A metal "wire keeper" bracket clamped to the cable end under the hood to serve as a spacer and the release lever works.
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide a procedure for opening the hood on the Saturn VUE and ION vehicles should the hood latch release cable mechanism become inoperative.

VUE Hood Opening Procedure Modify the Saturn radio antenna by bending the antenna mast 1 in. (2.54 cm) above the antenna base to a 25 degree angle

Open hood of similar vehicle to locate hood latch release cable to hood latch attachment point.

Using modified antenna, note approximate location that antenna will have to enter in between fascia and hood to access the hood latch cable attachment point. This should be toward the left edge of the Saturn emblem. Also note position of the modified antenna base. It should be angled downward.

Note: Use protective tape on the hood and fascia where the antenna will be inserted to protect the surfaces from scratches
On vehicle with inoperative latch, insert antenna between hood and fascia and depress the hood latch cable until the hood is opened.

Good luck and thank you for using fixya
