    Truck wont open!

    I need help guys....My car has been sitting for a while and does not have a battery in it at all... I'd like to put a battery in and get this thing back on the road but my problem is that the trunk will no longer open. The key has never worked to turn the tumbler. The locking mechanism pushes in fine but doesnt pop the trunk. I have never locked it... Please help!!!!

    Spray copious amount of WD-40 in there and keep pressing the knob. Hopefully, you can pop it open.

      Pop your hood, apply power to terminals there and then unlock your doors. It's possible you locked your trunk.

        Is that possible with no battery?

          Yup. Jumper cable to the positive terminal under the hood, other one to ground.

          easy.

          now, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george graves

            if you can get in the interior maybe take out the back seat and try moving the mechanism through the ski pass. idk how you would reach it though... maybe you have access to a small child you can weasel in there?
