Trunk is stuck

So last night I go and try to open my trunk, and when I pop it, it wont come up, It's still closed enough to were the 'open door' light doesn't come on, but there is still a small gap between the bottom of the trunk and the rear bumper. Anyone?

got anything blocking the movement of the "bar springs", which run along the underside of the back dash?

I wouldn't force it too hard if you can't just pull it up

yes, try the key first. If that does not work, there is a switch on the side of the latch that can be fliped, sometimes it will get stuck in the lock out position, if you flip that switch (with a broom stick or something thru the rear pass thru) it should open.

I had something similar happen but the bolts to the entire latch came loose. Therefore we had to remove the entire back seat to get at the latch to let it open. Lots of fun.

Turn the key by hand and pull the lid up with your hand. Clean all the weatherstripping around the trunk and then Amorall it.
