Chevrolet S10 Blazer back hatch and glass will not open with forward button on Chevrolet S10 Blazer

Some Chevrolet S10 Blazer owners report experiencing difficulties with the back hatch and glass not opening with the forward button due to several potential issues. These include actuator failure, where the actuator may burn out over time, leading to problems in unlocking the rear glass hatch. Additionally, mechanical obstructions, such as a handle stuck in the "up" position, can prevent the hatch from functioning correctly. Some owners also report issues with a gummed-up lock mechanism, which may require applying pressure while activating the latch switch or manually actuating the latch by accessing the back panel. If these solutions do not resolve the issue, some owners find that replacing the entire latch motor contraption may be necessary, as the plastic piece alone is typically not available separately. It is recommended that owners systematically troubleshoot these causes to effectively identify and resolve the problem.
