The electric realse latch wont work why - 2003 Buick Rendezvous

you don't say what car it is?, but usually you can get to the catch from under the front behind the bumper, or undo the catch and pull the centre wire this should work also, hope it helps

while holding the door handle up to open try to separate the fingers in the door latch if they wont separate.. the rods inside the door may have broken loose from the mechanism..this requires removal of the inner door panel to look at..

A non electric door, (which?) wont open,lock works ok, handle wont open the door.
What can I do to fix it.
well telling the door to us would help, and options.
so no electric locks,
there are 2 levers. one inside and one outside.
so you pull the door card (inside door covering)
and look at both locks , the inside pull, its it working?
then look at the key lock cylinder. is it connected still
and last are both connected to the latch mechanism.
one can cycle this latch lever inside the door shell.
if that fails the latch is busted.
all this is covered in the FSM ,why not read it.? (under body)
free , too.

A fuse does not operate the rear hatch, neither does the remote, the remote only unlocks the mechanism, so you can use the handle to open it. The only way to open the hatch if it will not open is to drill out the lock and ruin the linkage, in order to manually move the linkage.

there should be a lever that is on the bottom edge of dash that is under the steering wheel along the trim. if the handle is broken you can use pliers to grab the cable and pull it to get the hood to realse. if you found all that and i seems to work ok then when pulling the release lever have a friend hit or shake the hood to get it to pop up a little so that you can open it all the way.

Sounds like a bad microswitch on the 5th bow latch, you will need a Tech2 diag. tool to pinpoint the problem

the electric pull down motor has gone bad and if I remeber correctly that motor is an integrate part of the latch assembly. Cple bolts and amn electrical connector and the repair is made. take about 25030 minutes or less depending on skill level.

There is a switch on your hood latch. They get damaged sometimes when the hood opens and closes. look down on the latch and you will see the sensor with an electrical plug. There are two 10mm bolts holding the latch in. remove them and the sensor is in the latch.

spray both door latches with penetrating oil and open and shut the doors numerous time... should fix the problem
