    Trunk lid stuck shut

    Pretty self explanitory, the other day i just shut my trunk normally not too hard didn't think anything of it. Since that night, i havn't been able to open it back up, i push the key in and nothing happens, I have a 88 325ix if it means anything.

    Any tricks or tips on how to get a broken latch to open? the seats obviously don't fold down and i have a glove box i planned on fixing sitting in the trunk i can't open now. Any help is appreciated

      have you tried putting the key in turning to the left and pushing in? on my 3 series sometimes it'd lock others not

      Try wd or PB blaster in the lock cylinder lock an unlock it a few times see if that doesn't do the trick

            Does your central locking system work at all?

            Did it before this snafu?

            If you can get your rear seat out, I can get you to the trunk lock wires, you can strip back 1/8th inch and get voltage to them, should unlock everything.

            Is your gas cap unlocked?

              yo bump. i won't make a new thread. i'm pissed, and frustrated. got new tires at a shop. the guys at the shop somehow managed to get my key jammed in the rear trunk lock. so now my trnk is locked, but both coupe doors unlocked. operation lock on drivers door unlocks the passenger. i'm stuck. any insight on getting the trunk to unlock. more info on that voltage thing under the seat. the car is "unlocked" gas cap is not locked, how can i unjam my key, it does not turn in the trunk tumbler and will not pull out? the guys said they left the key in the tumbler...
