Need to reset volvo emergency trunk release

You have to reset the emergency release, here's how:
1. There is a trunk latch mechanisam on the lid; you will see an opening on the bottom of the mechanism - put a screwdriver through it
2. Now pull the emergency handle twice, while the screwdriver is still inside the latch
3. Once done, your emergency release is reset, and your trunk will now function properly.

try having someone jiggle the trunk up and down from the outside while you pull on the emergency release from the inside, you may have a problem with the wiring in the trunk itself, the wires have a problem chaffing where they come out of the trunk lid and go into the car, you can disconnect both ends and replace that for about $30

I have a 2015 Ford Mustang. The trunk/manual release was pulled and now my trunk won't open using the key fob or rear button. Any suggestions?

Depending on what make car it is. Remove the trim panel so that the trunk lock is exposed check where the release was connected look for a reset or put the key in the trunk lock unlock it then close the trunk lid

Are you asking for the release if you are locked in the trunk or is battery is dead, not sure what emergency release you are asking about for the trunk, if it is the one inside trunk if you are locked inside then this year does not have one

I had a similar problem w recently bought 2003 S80.Several points: 1) Access your locking selonoid through the trunk interior panel ... loosen a few hex bolts and slide out for maintenance; 2) I fixed my lock by simply using light teflon-based oil (like for bike chains). I exercised it a few times and it works beautifully; 3) Not sure on your model, but gas door on the '03 unlocks when you push the associated release button under the headlight control switch. It is not designed to unlock w the key (again, check owners manual for your year). Hope this helps. master_pre08-04-2007, 09:35 AMYeah, the fuel door on my 2000 S80 is connected with the door locks. In order for it to open you have to unlock all the doors to the car. Sssnake08-14-2007, 03:39 PM Thanks Guys,

I removed the locking mechanism and applied a little silicon graphite and now it works like a charm.

It sounds like your latch has double locked. Here is the fun part, can you drop your rear seat and get into the trunk? If you can look for a tag that is possabily glowing pull it to release the emergency latch on the trunk. then with your finger lock the latch and check to see if it is leaving a large enough gap fot your pinky finger to fit in. if it is then you have reset it. if not then pull the emergency release a few more times
