Back hatch/tailgate lock

I locked it and now it will not open and the button is sticking out. Any ideas?

Me too... Are you saying that the key won't turn. You need to provide way more information that to get any help...

Just my 2¢ worth.

Glad you got it unlocked. Lube everything up good inside the door and spray a little penetrating oil (preferably with teflon) into the lock. Do not use a graphite based lube on the lock cylinder...

Re: Back hatch/tailgate lock

Anyone make a billet button for the back hatch? I would like to just remove the key hole and have button that runs off a remote to unlock just the back hatch...Kinda like newer vehicles. Unlock drivers door with one button hit it twice and the whole car unlocks. or a seperate button for just the trunk release.


Thanks
Chris

I hope I was clear
