One side will not unlock and allow window to open (so double doors can not be opened either) How can I manualy unlock the rear hatch window so I can take the door apart to start to work on why one side will not unlock? With the door locked I can not take the inside trim/pannel off.

Thank you

Remove a spark plug and look at it if its wet, the 2nd one is --if you can hear the pump then its still good it has to go thru the inertia switch. If you don't hear the pump than it needs checking- at times it can go whacko on and off and give you the curve ball.

Its located behind the R/Front kick panel.

If you took the fuel line off of filter and powered up fuel pump than the inertia switch might have tripped because it saw that there was a fuel leak.
