my boyfriend borrowed my car, didn't have the trunk key with him, and tried to get into the trunk with one of the other keys, for some reason there are 3 keys to my car. Now i can't get into the trunk with the key. when you turn the key, you can hear it unlocking, and all the locks unlock as they would normally, but the trunk still doesn't open. If I had to guess off the top of my non locksmith head I'd say the linkage is semi hammered in there. my question is how the heck can i open my trunk with this delemma? thanks
I just read some of the other posts, some mentioned a "magic cord" under back seat, does my car have one of those?? oh how nice that would be huh?

This is off topic, but I was in a junkyard trying to get an antenna off an w123, and the owner tried to pry it up. He couldn't, so he got a forklift. He had to lift the car about 20ft in the air for the locked trunk to pop open. Even then, the hinges wouldn't come off Take it to nearest dealer. They should jus replace the cylinder. I wouldn't mess with it cuz then u'll end up spending more $$$

Sounds like you need a new boyfriend. Didn't you 'splain the key situation to him when he borrowed your car?

I don't make enough right now to pay someone's wages for opening my trunk ata dealer. But I'll probably have to look up locksmith exboyfriend huh? Dang... was hoping yall would have the magic answers for me.

one of the keys is the valet key. it will not open the trunk. you can compare the three keys. the two alike are the master keys, they open all the locks.

You don’t need the key to open the trunk when the doors are unlocked – I assume he did not know this and broke your trunk lock. Do the four doors and fuel filler door unlock when the driver or passenger door is unlocked? The trunk lock should unlock as well allowing access by only pushing in the trunk lock button.
