I have a 93 SE and the other day my trunk release from the inside was workin fine and I tried to use it today and nothing happens. You can hear it clicking and trying to open the trunk but it can't. Any ideas on whats wrong and how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

 

Have someone pull up as you release the switch. If you can get in using the key, which I figure you can, then do so. There is a switch on the latch in the trunk that prevents valets from accessing the trunk while with the car (or a mechanic for that matter!) when they should only have the valet key. So, try the latch switch in the trunk.

 

I have no idea check maybe the latches in the back.You have me worried now though because I had planned on shaving the whole trunk section off in the back including the key hole.Now I am worried if I do that and my latch wont open I am screwed.

 

sorry to worry you dz....i didn't mean to. i'm sure you wont have any problems though.

 

Hope this doesn't happen to mine, my key doesn't work in the back, so I rely on the button inside the car.

 

sorry to worry you dz....i didn't mean to. i'm sure you wont have any problems though.

 

i had my friend try to lift up when i pushed the button from the inside and still no luck. Any other ideas on how to fix it? thanks again

 

check the route of cable,maybe it fell off a clip and lost tension to pull latch

 

my trunk does not open with the key either how would i go about fixing that? any suggestions?

 

DZ how do you plan on shaving the drunk section?? I was thinking about that but I didn't know if it was capable to do by your self...

I don't recommend getting near anything drunk with a razor.. if it's on someone else, they tend to go crazy.. if it's you, you tend to cut things and make a mess of yourself.

 

if you look down at the latch
on the car, you'll see this switch that
pushes on the trunk lid latch to pop the trunk.
Anyway, it seems that you can push the switch
in up or down position. (Down if you want to disable
the interior trunk pop, up if you want to enable it)
Anyway, just pull that little switch up.
It looks like a little metal piece. i'll see if i can't
snap some pix later on with my sis's digi cam.

Dont worry, nothing's broken, it just sucks.

 

Try pushing down on the trunk and hold it down while you use the key to open it. If it does open check to make sure the latch is not pushed down.

 

Try squirting some WD-40 or a little light oil into the lock. I had the same problemb and it worked for me. (The next stop would have been repositioning the lock striker. Always a nightmare.)

 

:-) I ment trunk....
any ways how would you go about shaving the trunk section??? I really hate the way it looks... DZ how do you plan on doing it?? Has any one else done this????

 

sorry bout this, but my sis's camera ran out of
batteries right when i took the pix.
Anyway, I'll bother her tomorrow morning and get the
AC adapter and plug the thing in and upload.
So sorry!!!
