I just bought the part last week for 61.76 from the dealership. It takes about two hours to unscrew the strap from the inside, remove trim from the inside starting at the top, sides and bottom. Remove the license plate from the outside of the hatch. Next remove the 8 bolts (10mm)and 3 white plastic tabs that snap on from the large black plate and move to the side (you don't need to disconnect the wires). From here you can reach around the rear window unit and open the door by moving the latch or pulling the cable. You should remove the 4 nuts that hold on the rear window assembly and move the to reach two nuts which holds the center portion of the trim piece you are trying to remove. There should be a plastic piece covering the cable and latch, it just pops off by pulling it straight out. There are three plastic tabs in the corners and one screw (lock for the hatch) that holds on the license plate assembly to the rear hatch along with two white plastic tabs which are located at the bottom two holes for license plate. These plastic tabs come in from the front. Use pliers to squeeze the together and push. You will need to disconnect the license plate lamp wire connector from the left side. The license plate assembly should drop away. Two screws hold on the latch, remove and replace and reverse proceedure.

I have a 2005 Suzuki sx aerio and my hatchback is stuck in lock mode even when I use the key it just won't open

it just wont what. is it open and you cant close the hatch. if so you need to turn the lock and using a lever or screw diver and open the latch at the same time as if it was closed. when the latch opens it can then work properly. if you cant even get the hatch open. you may have something froze and getting it open will be hard if not impossible. could be a cable broke or the latch broke. and the only way to get it open will be pulling the inside door panel off and get to the latch inside the hatch and make it work with tools. like i said that will be hard to do when its closed. hope its open and you just need to pop the latch with a screwdriver

Mazda 1996 lx prestige passenger door lock dose not work ether with key button our buy pushING down on

Need to take inside door panel off and look at inside door latch. The locking rod probably broke at door latch. Or it lucky unhooked. To find whice rod it is. You may need to cut hole in platinum sheet near door latch. Then move one left to right. One will lock it and one will open door. Then check to make sure both ends are connected on the lock rod. Almost sure it is the small plastic piece broken of door latch. And when taking inner door panel off. Make sure all screws are out. And use flat screw driver next to plastic tabs to pop them out. If careful everything will go back together easy.

It's called the door latch. You can't buy parts for it. You can buy the whole mechanism though. Or get one at a junkyard. A spring or small pin has broken inside of it. I tried to many times to find parts for the inside of these things. No luck.

2000 pont. gr am pass door only opens when you use door key to unlock and pull handle at same time , the door lock are auto. you can hear it unlock but cant open it normally

there has been lots of problems with the power door lock actulator on this model . you will need to remove the door pannel and then remove the door lock latch assembly and inspect to see if the actulator is broke . If it is broke then you will need to replace the latch assembly as i dont belive that the actulator comes seperate from the latch . but check with your local parts store or dealer

1999 Chevrolet Venture Power sliding door opens back up after closing. I have cleaned the contacts on the door post and on the door itself. There is nothing in the way, ie: weatherstripping or seat belts....

simple door latch, try unplugging the power and see if the door opens, if it does its not the motor. if the door is out of alignment it wont latch. if the latch in the door is broke it wont latch. try locking the door when its closed.

Glove box latch is broken cant open it want to replace it but cant remove it

Guess what? Volkwagen makes you buy the entire glove box assembly, including lock and door in gray, black or beige for around $145. No way to fix the latch because it is encased in sealedand glued plastic. Good luck! Mine just broke, also.
