So your rear glass won't release correct?

 

yeah the glass wont release

 

Ok, Here ya go: Faulty Rear Hatch

Hopefully that will answer your questions. If you still have questions after reading through that thread, post up here and we'll see if we can get them answered!

Good Luck!

 

The first thing I would try, before trying to tear apart the interior trim, is to spray lots of WD40 or something similar into the rear lock cylinder and work it back and forth for a while. I don't know if it will help, but it shouldn't hurt.

 

Well, I guess it would be a good idea to know what year of truck we are talking about...

I believe that the release for the rear glass is all electronic on the '96+... So if it's making a noise and not releasing the glass, then there is a problem somewhere in the glass release actuator.
