(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) so. i REALLY need to get into my rear trunk. problem is, it wont open. PO removed the lock and place an electric latch and put the cool porsche reflector on the back. are there any alternative ways into the trunk? (access hole on the underside? lmao) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) the wiring seems to be fine and all connections are fine. i even have the JWEST fuse panel with no blown fuses. replaced the inline fuse, POP! about 3 fuses. and then nothing. ANY IDEAS? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

I can't believe the suggestions to destroy things in order to get the trunk open. No holes need to be drilled, nothing needs to be 'yanked off'. Just because some folks don't like reflectors is no reason to suggest destroying one. And why drill an unnecessary hole in your car?
Using a flashlight to enable you to see in the trunk, just use something rigid that's long enough and thin enough to enable you to insert it in the trunk from inside the engine bay and reach the mechanism. Then just press down on the latch while another person presses down on the trunk and then opens it. Voila. This is easily done in a few minutes after a little trial and error. Attached image(s) |
