I have been able to reach the unlocking mechanism that is connected to the vacume solenoid in the trunk. I pushed it as far toward the lock( left) as i could. The button wont go in at all. I think the latch is jammed. The button pushes in easily when in the locked position, but when in the unlocked position the button wont go in. I have tried a rubber mallet, lifting and pushing down on the lid many times over. no avail. I called a locksmith. he couldnt help. Didnt even want to try. I will have to call around and see if anone else can help. Im stumped. I am kind of affraid to take it in for i think the repair may be expensive. I could try gong through the tail lense, but if the latch is jammed, i dont know if that will help. That may just add to my bill. Maby I can get to the bolts that hold the trunk lid to the car and get it off that way. Doubtfull. Looks like it is going to be a little while before i figure this one out.
