My trunk will not open. Nothing. The manual key does nothing and no method opens this stupid thing.
In fact my manual key will lock my car but not unlock it.
Anybody got any suggestions? Can I get in thru the back seat?

Does it make the "pop" sound when you pull the release button? If so, it may be stuck by moisture.

Sometimes mine gets stuck after a rain and a dry period. I literally have to pull it up with both hands to get it un stuck.

Warning! Don't pull on the ends of the plastic license plate light mount strip that runs across the top of the license mount area, you'll break it right off like me...

Pull right in the middle over the license plate.
