either crawl into back or if u have split gate where window opens u have to remove the little plastic access cover {on rear panel}and in the hole push against the rod to open ...once opened u can remove the rear panel and lube and or repair the clips that actuate the lock and release rods
Have you tried holding in the plastic trim that surrounds the liftgate handle, with one hand, while pulling on the liftgate handle, to try and open the liftgate? I've seen this happen on a few Grand Cherokees and that should get it to open. Just make sure you hit the power unlock switch before trying that.
Maybe the chasis lock (the "U" shaped ring that is located in the base of the trunk moved forward, try to loosen it (not completely) with a star screwdriver, move it backwards (maybe you will need a hammer to accomplish this), then tighten it again and check if it closes. If it does just check if the door seals completely, otherwise you may have to untighten the same part and move it a bit forward tighten it again and check wich is the best position where it closes & seals completely.
This is easy. Lift the lid open. Look at the back of the sealed beam and you will see a clip and an o ring. Pull the clip up and pull wires back toward the driver's seat. Unscrew the o ring and firmly pull the bulb out toward the driver again. Note the 3 tabs on the bulb seat and realign the new bulb with those tab ( 2 bottom, 1 top). Replace with #9007 bulbs..do them both.
The handle may be stuck in the open position due to rust. Try to push back the handle and play (open/close/open) with the lock control. The same thing will eventually happen to the sliding door, and the culprit is the inside handle, stuck in the open position, preventing the door to close completely. Good luck.
