So I can't remember the last time I had to use my key to open my trunk. But the other day when my battery died, it wouldn't open with the switch in the driver's door. I tried the key in the lock and it would not turn at all. I WD-40'd it quite a bit and still nothing. Any other suggestions/troubleshooting? Any idea how much would a new lock unit be if it came down to that?

 

bump for the night. anyone?

 

Keep using the WD40.

 

I hear you just get a small kid to hop in thru ski-pole hole in the back seat and pop the leaver or something .. vague ay

 

^^^haha, that kid used to be me!

yeah i guess the WD-40 outta work. it was really cold last weekend so maybe it just wasn't working as quickly.
