Hatch stuck closed help!!

Well It's better than not latching at least I can drive but this is gonna start bugging me. So I have the auto hatch pulldown, my hatch will not release. I cannot open it with a key, I don't even get the clicking sound that tells you the key released the hook. It also won't respond to the interior release button. Any ideas? How do I get it open and what might be wrong?

Hatch
I had a similar problem. If the key doesn't work and the switch doesn't either, then you need to pull the clear lense out(rear light) and (crawl in over the rear seat) and unbolt the solenoid and trip the latch with a screw driver to open it.
