Same prob - back door stuck

Keeping this thread alive...it appears my problem with the rear hatch is not at all rare. About three years ago I let a dealer fix it when the handle broke on the inside. There was some sort of warranty so it did not cost much. Now it broke again - about a year ago actually, and I have just procrastinated - and I now want to fix it myself if possible.
I need to replace a faulty tail light bulb on the passenger side, and it appears I can not get to it unless I open the hatch. So here goes. I appreciate so much the advice on here. Some of it I understand, having little fear or tools and cars. But I have some dumb questions, really elementary stuff. For instance, I can not always tell if you were on the outside of the car or the inside when you attacked the problem. Is the fact that my window motor stopped working a part of the same condition? And am I correct that I will never get to the tail light bulb without the hatch open?
Thanks mucho!
