Toyota Sequoia 1st Gen rear lock latch stuck

If you have a 1st gen Sequoia (01-07) and have a problem in which in the rear hatch door will not open, you either have a broken handle (there are great aftermarket metal ones), or a broken actuator, or a stuck locking mechanism. In this video, I describe how to manually unlock the lock so that you can open the hatch and gain access to the parts to replace. There are many great videos on youtube that show how to remove panels and address the other issues. This video shows how to get into a stuck lock when the other methods do not allow you to open the hatch.
