I have a regular locking rear trunk. No solenoid or Porsche reflector.
The trunk has opened fine every time for three years. Since Joe installed all my EFI electronics in the trunk I have started locking it. It worked fine locking and unlocking it for six months. This week, when I unlock the trunk, it will not open. The lock cylinder rotates fine with the key, but pressing the lock in does not unlatch the trunk lid. Anyone have this problem before and figure out what to do? Thanks...John |

I'll try the wiggle and bang approach again. If that does not work then I will need those extensions... John |

If you need to open it sooner, I got mine at Harbor Freight. They were pretty cheap. I hope your roof isn't in the trunk. The 1/4" extension method is the way to go but.... there is not enought light to see if you are even near the 10mm bolts. It's been a while but I remember being able to remove the two 13mm bolts from one hinge(or both). I then lifted that corner and held it up a bit with a 2x4. Shine a light in there to see the target. Use a wobble ended extension and a short socket, not a universal. |
