Default 93 Hatch Won't Open

My hatch won't open all of a sudden. I can hear a slight click when I depress either the door or the console switch.

Do these solenoids go bad?

Is there a way to open the hatch to facilitate working on the latch/solenoid?

Thanks in advance for the knowledge transfer!!

Joe

Just below the center of the latch you will find, after a search, a 1/8" cable that is the emergency latch release.

It will probably be on the passenger side.

It may be hidden under the rear trim so will take a little looking for.

Pair of needle nose pliers could come in handy.

Not sure about the 93 but my 85 has a solenoid under the back plastic deck trim to the right of the latch. A member with an 87 said his was on the left. There may be two back there one for the latch and one for the radio antenna.
