i am sure i can manually release the latch if i could find the diagram for the lock. can anyone help me with this. this is a 1993 Chevy Astro van

never mind on my question. here is what you do: take the inner handle off of the hatch and pry the hatch panle away as far as you can without brreaking it and feel for the rod that operates the locking mechanism and pull it and the door will open now all you have to do is put the rod back in the actuator. job complete

(speaking from experience) It was probably caused by the nylon retaining clip getting old and brittle. You should replace it or use a substitute such as a exterternal retaining ring, tape or something you can cram over the end of the rod in order to prevent the actuator rod from falling out again. While you are there you should inspect the other rod retainer and act accordingly.
