Unfortunately, my key doesn't work on the trunk for some reason (I was told that the tumblers may have been replaced a long time ago). Since I have owned the car my key has never worked on the trunk and I didn't expect that it could even lock, so I was surprised that I locked it with the miti vac. The central vacuum system on the car also doesn't work and I had pulled out the vacuum line from the rear vacuum pump (in the trunk) to the trunk lock. There still is another vacuum line or two coming from the trunk area to the front of the car. One line was green, if I recall. Perhaps I can cut one of those and place a vacuum on it and unlock the trunk?
