I'v got a 1999 Cherokee, for the past month the back hatch has been acting a bit funny, It locks and closes properly but It seems to get stuck closed and wont open....I found out If I push against the back hatch area and then open It at the same time It seems to pop open.....
Well now It was closed and that trick does not work anymore....It wont open, (It locks....then I have no pull, the handle is really loose), but then (It opens....I have tension on the handle when I pull It, but It doesnt open the hatch, Just sits there), I'v tried all my old tricks of pushing the door in then pulling out and what not but It Just seems not to be working anymore, the keyhole works and so does the power button on my key chain...I dunno?
How hard is this to fix, what could possibly be wrong?
I was thinking about Just taking It to the stealership because Im not real technical with the oem parts but I dont wanna spend an arm and leg at the dealership....how much you think they will charge to fix this?
