Hi,
The rear trunk was converted to an electric open by a PO. Power IS getting to the button, but no pop. Is there another way to open the back trunk without making a mess of everything? I could put a picture up, but it would just be the back end of my car with no key hole which wouldn't do anyone any good. Is there a "secret access" somewhere that will let me open it and fix the electrical problem which is obviously at the latch? Thanks Sean |

Except for losing all the extensions and the socket in the trunk--with a majority of my tools, which are locked in there now. (I figured the 60 or so times the thing worked indicated it worked. . silly me) |

This will get you in so you can fix it. the multiple extension route is the only clean way. i've done it more than once. good flashlight ,detach the hinges with a short 1/4 drive 13mm socket then tape your finest selection of extensions together and away ya go |
