Not sure how to remove rear panel to check
I had the same problem. You can't take the panel off without having the hatch open. I had to pull it loose
under the window and squirt about a hole can of WD-40 in on all the door mechanism. When I got it open I found out that there is a hole in the bottom of the door about the size of a quarter that would allow
gravel dust and stuff in and rust the components and the lock making the door stay locked all the time.
After the wd-40 I pushed the lock & unlock button many times and it finally unlocked. I then opened the hatch and removed the panel and then I unhooked the lock motor so that it would not happen again.
It has been that way for 4 years now with no problem.

I have the same issue, however the WD-40 doesn't seem to be working... I can hear the locking mechanism working via the key manually or the key fob. I have gotten the plastic interior to the door pretty close to completely off, enough to at least get in there and look around... any other advise you can give that might help me get this goshforsaken door open once and for all -
Thanks,
Sullski
