make sure that the wiring is connected to the release solenoid at the hatch latch. you need to remove the 2 small hatch panels that cover the taillights to see properly. if it is connected, undo the connector at the pop button in glove box & try to jump the wires to see if it releases. if it does, the pop button is bad. let me know, i have an extra & will give it to you. most importantly, the pop button will only work if car is on or in acc position[key forward]. good luck,let me know.

To test the hatch button, with ignition off and key out put an ohm meter across the two connections on the switch. Push the button, the reading should be zero. If reading goes from open no ohms to zero switch is good.
