Hello and welcome to FixYa!

If it clicks then she's still ok. The lock may have been stuck that's why it won't open. As a first course of action, I strongly suggest that you spray WD40 on the mechanism. This will loosen the lock and will resolve the problem.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

I have run into this problem and i found that the switch that operates alarm and inside light is bad, the switch is located on the latch, the latch may need to be removed to replace the switch. some dealers do not sell just the switch, i have run into this problem where switch is not replaceable the complete latch needs to be replaced.

Another problem i have run into is the wiring going into the hatch breaks, the wiring from bendine due to door opening and closing breaks a wire or two due to bending , locate wiring coming into rear hatch and check each wire,
