Hatch back lock broken
 

So I bought this car recently about a month ago and the hatch back doesn't open it's either locked and won't unlock. Or something I'm hoping to get some help with this. I pull the handle and nothing happens so that's detached from the levers in side the door and neither of my keys will go I. The lock cylinder let alone unlock it. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.civ...d1f8aff0ab.jpgThere is no pop truck lever or button.

Squirt penetrating oil into that lock cylinder and give it a little time to soak in

Remove trims from door sill and levers, see if you can work the cable manually?

Fold down rear seat, access the latch or linkage from inside (may require removing trims or entire panels from the tailgate, IDK what is there to work with)

I squirt penetrating oil in there it honestly feels like someone tried to smash the pins to break into it and I can't even get the hatch open at all to remove any of the plastics from inside and I'm not sure what triks your talking about on the outside .the plastic with the Honda symbol on it?

It's quite possible, some people try to force and consequently ruin things as a result. Try penetrating oil anyway, maybe it's just stuck from lack of use and you will get lucky. (this is really a common issue in locks that aren't frequently used)


I'm well aware you can't get it open. That's why I said you might need to fold the back seat down and do some work remove the panel from the tailgate. You have to reach the latch or linkages somehow, and most sane people wont want to chop holes through the exterior of the body.
I never said 'outside'. The way to get at anything inside the door is through the interior.

I like this idea. Plan ahead LOL
