(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) |

QUOTE Why not drill a 1/8-1/4" hole in the reflector where the old lock used to be. Then maybe you can push the release tab for the lock with a coat hanger, nail or whatever. The hole shouldn't be too noticeable, and you wont ruin the reflector. Then how do you keep it locked?? |
