Try and have someone lightly press downward on hatch when pressing button and see if it opens.
Have you tried the key lock ?
Could be a bad latch assembly, these are specific to 92/93 hatchbacks
I should have a good used one available

look on the botom side of the hatch lid by the licence plate, you will see a black tab about the size of a key fob with one rivet in it. drill out the rivet and pull the black tab straight out, you will be able to now pull the hatch lock cylynder out from the outside and use a long flat head screwdriver to open it.

Mine has been stuck for a bit too. I tried everything but drilling out the rivot as mentioned above. I think I will try that as well. Any other ideas? OP did you ever get it open?

This is actually one of the first things I tried and no luck for me.

I had this happen to me a long long time ago.
I shot the lock out.
I promptly received a citation for unlawful discharge of a firearm.
My irrational solution worked for me, however it is not highly recommended. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
