Re: Do not have the fob to open the rear hatch of my 2006...
You'll have to unlock the doors first, then you can lift the handle on the gate from the outside, or some models have the pushbutton release just under the lift handle.

The release contact switch must be dirty and corroded...you will have to jiggle the rear hatch...when trying to open again...when open spray the hold down bracket, and the under side of the hatch that makes contact...the best spray for this is PB Blaster, available at Walmart auto parts section...this will not hurt the electric contacts...as you still cannot open the rear hatch, you will need to remove the inside panel of the rear hatch to expose the release arm on the inside of the hatch. Hope this helps.
The remote start is tied to the Lift Hatch. Your vehicle was likely not locked, so when you double clicked the lift hatch, it did what it is supposed to do and opened the hatch. If that is not the case, take it to a remote / alarm installer to check the programming.
I hope tbis is helpfull.. the hatch on my sisters 2000 Escalade would not open neither with fob or on the dash button.. was getting frustrated with it so i decided to examine all fuses in panel on driverside.. came across a blown fuse for cigarette lighter, changed it, pushed button,low and behold it popped open.
the actual relay is in the "B" Pillar Passenger side, which is between frt passenger door and rear passenger door behind the plastic trim you will have to pull the trim loose or off to get to it
Before doing any other troubleshooting on a 2003 Ford Focus hatch release problem, try THIS... The hatch release button is a triangle. Push the button on the very bottom point of the triangle. For some reason, mine did not work when pushed in the middle and only works when I push it at the very bottom point... slightly off in any direction and it does not work. Strange but true.
Inside the glove box on the left side there is an on/off switch, which m,ay have been bumped off thereby shutting off the power controls to the hatch. Check that first. Then press the unlock button on your key twice, then test all 3 power hatch buttons to test them, one each on lower left dash by the gas cap door release, one on fob and the one at the hatch. If they still do not work it is possible your door may need to be 'initialized" by your dealer due to power failure. I have seen this with seats and windows but never with the rear door....
