Help, my trunk won't open!
 
All of a sudden I can't get my trunk to open. I use both the remote open and the manual (button on door) but it just makes that clicking/latch sound but doesn't open. I looked back through the rear seats and when I try to open it with the remote, the latch moves, then moves right back about a second later. I can't see anything blocking it though. Anybody have an idea on what this is? Thanks.

Did you try opening it with the key? Sounds like the valet latch is locked.

yes I did JNCoRacer, the key will not turn in the lock

heres what you do:

get a flashlight and a crowbar (or something long that you can flip a latch with).

look through your back seat using the flashlight to shine on the latch area. then you will see a little switch thing. it looks like this: _ (youll see it and be like "oh."). my bet is that you accidently flipped it down. so reach back there and flip it up. then try to pop it.

i had the same problem, cause i sat on it when working on my system, then i had insulation in my trunk lid to reduce rattles so the key wouldnt work. it was a pain, but thats cause my system was in the way. sounds like u dont have a system so you should be all set.
