I'm mainly looking for folks who can point me in the right direction to fix silly things like my rear hatch. The heat/AC is a bit of a concern I can't quite determine what the exact problem is. Also I've got something going on with the front right wheel that is a bit strange.

What's wrong with the rear hatch?

The latch doesn't seem to be getting any kind of response from the handle so I can't open it. Doesn't matter if it's locked or not, I've read it's a common problem still just not sure how to take it apart

That's what I was thinking... My friend's ZJ had that problem and I fixed it about 3 times. Third time was the charm because it worked the remainder of time he had it.

You'll have to pull the panel off from the inside, find the linkages and make sure they're still connected.

You have to get mad at it. It'll come off.

At the very worst cut it off and find another one to replace it with.

Well... yeah. There's not many more ways to get back there.
