???? My cylinder is fubar and only turns infinitely with the key in it. The floor lever is nonexistent. My fuel pump just went out. How do i get the hatch open from inside? I tried prying it but I am not sure what I am prying is even going to budge. I tried pulling the cable in the back but nothing happens. HOw do i get this thing open?

Yeah if you take apart the interior and get back there you should be able to open it.. I'd suggest first going to a junkyard to find the entire trunk latch unit, go back to your car, get the hatch opened and swap the parts from the junkyard onto yours.. Good luck bro.

Go to the part store and get some "hatch opener"
They sell all kinds of mierical products in a can/bottle. Should be right next to the lucases and the blown head gasket treatment, right under the radiator stop leak and power steering stop leak (actually had that shit work once though), and on top of the gs27 scratch remover






Niether of my s13s still have that handle nonsence. If i need gas I push in on the front of the gas door and it opens up. 18 year old plastic latch ftl.
