Need to know how to manually unlock the rear liftgate on a 2003 Expedition.

I don't understand the question. Use the remote, drivers door keypad, or unlock button on the interior drivers door. (Probably no keyhole on the outside for the rear hatch)

All those methods I have tried. There is something wrong with either the solenoid or the relay that provides power to acuate the lock. Or there is something wrong with the handle mechanism. What I need to know is there anyway to get it open. It is in the closed position. Taking the panel off from the inside I am guessing is the only way unless someone knows a trick to get it open.

Most likely the solenoid. Have fun!
