The hatch handle lifts but doesn't engage the mechanism. There is no resistance as you lift the handle. Have tried pushing in as I lift several times. Also tried locking and unlocking several times. Nothing. Any Help? Thanks in advance.

You need to remove the inner panel to access the handle. Chances are the handle has broken or the linkage has come apart.

Let me know if you have other questions.
