    Is it winter where you are? Try warm oil from your dipstick put on the key and wiggled around in the lock. You can buy little cans of spray de-icer or WD40. A car that age should have that done once in a while anyway. Hopefully it isn't too rusted already.

    Well the lock is able to move around but when I looked at it, it looks like it is just out of place but thanks the answer. I'm in Oregon so yes it is cold here during the winter

    I can't figure out how to open my rear hatch. When I first got this truck is was janky and I had to use pliers to open it because it had no handle. Then one of the latches slipped and even though I can move the piece it is supposed to connect to I can't figure out how to open the damn thing. Of course, now I have to replace the entire lock and latch system. But how do I do that without being able to open the hatch in the first place?
