I have a Carat with electric locks. No battery power for the time
being while work is being done on the van. BUT, I need to open the rear
hatch and the lock will not release using the key. Up until yesterday,
it always released. Today it will not.  Unlike my manual locks in the my
GL's, this lock requires the key be in the lock to press the button to
unlock the hatch. The key turns, the button goes in when pressed, but
the latch doesn't release.

Any suggestions??

Thanks,

John
