My lock got broke inside of my rear hatch assembly and another piece got broken off that I think connect from the latching assembly to the lock. I was wondering what do I need to replace? Just the latch assembly or the motor or what?

You'll need to replace the lock cylinder (just remove the clip inside)and the cable that connects from it to the hatch release (attached to the latch with a 10mm screw). I'm sure GM still has the lock cylinder if you want new. I bought a complete lock cylinder kit through Classic Industries a few years back. I have the cable and either the manual or solenoid latch release available if you can't find one. I also have a source for a used lock cylinder or cylinders (if you wanted to keep it keyed the same as your doors) if you need.
