Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply. After trying the other suggestions, I was about to remove the interior panel when I heard a click of the actuator. No idea why or how it "actuated", but I wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth. I got out and luckily the lock was left in the correct position and the hatch opened right up. The problem will probably revisit, but for now I'm able to tackle the more pressing problem. I love this list.

Jason
