Default hatch wont open

My hatch wont pop.... Not by fob, not by key, or by the hatch button under the dash...

Any ideas?

Strange it won't work with the key at least. Have you tried keeping the key turned and pulling up and down on it?

Weird. Other than climbing back there and trying to pop the latch open with a screwdriver to see what's going on only other thing I can think of is put downward pressure on it, then trying to get the key to turn. Only strange hatch incident I've had is mine popped by itself when a battery died.

Fuse is good? On mine the PWR ACCY fuse controls the hatch release relay. Doesn't explain why the key won't work though...
