Hello Guys, My trunk will not open and my computer is the the trunk and I need it for work. I hear the latch sound if I use the remote, key slot in the trunk or the trunk button inside the divers area but it does not unlatch the trunk. I have tried to hit the button and lift on the trunk but it will not release. Please help if you can. Thanks

 

Maybe too late to help by now(?) and likely not much help, anyway....but, if turning the key in the trunk to the left AND pushing in the lock (should even work without power this way) does not open it, it could have broken linkage and only be openable from inside...and easier said than done. Most cases I've heard like this required cutting or breaking something ( hole cut behind lic plate panel, break and reach through tail-light opening, etc...no personal experience)...or access through the ski sack, if you have that.
Here's a link to broken linkage problem solved in an "unusual" way...be sure to look at the photos linked in the thread...involved the ski sack opening in the rear seat and a very small mechanic's helper:

Hello Thanks I cut a hole behind the license plate and am starting to fish around with a wire. Will let you know how it works out Pete
