Default rear window(tailgate glass) button?

what exactly does this do?(i have a 94 blazer) i press it and it sounds like it unlocks it. is that what its for? if so i think the ock is sticking because it still requires the key to open

Mine does the same thing because the gate is sprung placing pressure on the glass which puts a load on the latch and the electric solenoid is not powerful enough to overcome the load.

Have someone place a little pressure on the glass while you press the unlatch button. If it unlocks then you probably have an issue of excessive load on the latch.

No problem. I have been given help on here and the best repayment is to give it back on here to others.

I'm on my third gen, blazer. A nice 93 4x4. When I would press the latch unlock it sounds as if had unlocked but it didn't. I had to use the key. I removed the access. unbloted the solenoid which pulls the latch, and moved the solenoid away from the original bolt holes about a bolt hole away. viola!
