I opened the trunk on my 300D to see how much grease was in my veggie tank. Closed it and it didnt sound like normal in some way? It was raining so I just went inside. Tried to open the trunk today to fill tank and it wouldnt open? button goes in but doesnt act like it pushes anything? the key slot is paralell with trunk lid not up and down. I have never locked the trunk and dont know if the one key I got with the car is supposed to unlock trunk but it wont turn the lock. Dont want to break the lock or the trunk but dont know how to get it open? Any clues?

A search will reveal all sorts of good information like CLICK There are some people who are fortunate enough to have a pull cord under the rear seat back - I didn't have one .

I did a search and turned up not much usefull. I decided to figure it out, and I did. The key I have does lock and unlock trunk but you have to kinda push in and out on it as you turn it. I turned it as far in both directions as possible and reset it I guess. pushed it and poped it open! Gonna drill a hole and hook a wire up behind license plate I guess as a rescue. Thanks for the drill idea though.
