I have a 2013 tc and the hatch will not open. I can here it unlock and when you hit the button on the hatch you hear it click. but, when you lift on it the hatch won't budge. What is the reason for this?
My 07 started doing the same thing, and it’s very annoying when grocery shopping.I have a 2013 tc and the hatch will not open. I can here it unlock and when you hit the button on the hatch you hear it click. but, when you lift on it the hatch won't budge. What is the reason for this?
I have a 2007 Scion same deal with the hatch and yeah it's extremely frustrating when you go grocery shopping but I took the middle panel off and put my finger on the little lever and push it and use my shoulders at the same time to push up on the hatch and it opens. All summer no problem but as soon as it gets cold out problem starts all over againI am having a similar issue. Right now my lock is not budging to open the hatch no matter what, and I am seeing what I need to do to open it. It's way past the open with screwdriver inside the car, that isn't doing anything. It's just stuck locked. I am assuming I just may need a new latch, and I assume that over 17 years it's gotten beat up and may just be smashed or bent closed.
I will try to update this if I can figure it out, but right now it's seeing if I can hold the lock mechanism in the open position and possibly come from underneath and see if I can open it with a screwdriver to pry into the open unlatched position.
The mechanism sounds like need more cleaning and new lubs.I have a 2007 Scion same deal with the hatch and yeah it's extremely frustrating when you go grocery shopping but I took the middle panel off and put my finger on the little lever and push it and use my shoulders at the same time to push up on the hatch and it opens.
