Volvo: 1995 Volvo 940 wagon rear hatch lock, volvo 940 wagon, 1995 volvo 940

Question
Hi I have a problem not being able to open the rear hatch without climbing in the rear of the car. The car has central locking, which still works on the other doors. Any ideas electrical or mechanical and how to fix it would be a great help?

Is the trunk lock in the unlock position so it will operate with the central locking or maybe locked? Listen for the locking motor to operate as the locks are operated. If it will not operate remove the panel and test the locking motor. If you have power going out there the lock motor is broken. No power broken wires or bad contacts.
