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

My son was missing with the valet parking key while I was driving. When we got home and tried to open the trunk it wouldn't. It also made this buzzing sound when I push on the trunk latch.

SOURCE: how to replace pull down trunk 1995 Cadillac Deville

The trunk lid pull-down assembly switch, part number 16629927, most likely needs to be replaced. The switch is mounted on top of the trunk lid pull-down assembly motor at the bottom of the trunk. The switch costs about $43. It's easy to replace. Just unplug the electrical connector, remove one Torax-head screw, and pull up on the switch while wiggling it.

To verify that the trunk lid pull-down assembly switch (which is actually a combination of three enclosed ganged striker switches and one lid ajar switch) needs replacing, connect a test lamp or voltmeter between the orange and black wires on the electrical connector. If the lamp lights or the voltmeter shows about 12VDC, then either the connector needs cleaning or the pull-down assembly switch is bad. If the lamp doesn't light or the voltmeter reading is zero, trunk compartment fuse D7 is open, or a wire is open or shorted to ground.

I accidentally pulled the interior trunk release of 2008 volkswag

Try a screw driver,and release the trunk release at the same time and unsnap the latch,the latch thinks it is closed,because the latch never opened back up to allow the striker to go in it and trigger the latch to close,the latch is in closed mode,you will have to manually unlatch the latch sort of speak.

2000 Intrepid Trunk Lock

All newer vehicles have an emergency manual trunk release inside the trunk.

This should be basically a rip cord directly attached to the trunk locking mechanism. Most modern ones have a yellow handle on the ceiling of the trunk that will release the trunk latch if it is pulled. Yours may be a different color, but if you get in there with a flash light you can probably trace a steel wire from the trunk latch back to some sort of handle that looks like you can pull it. Its definitely worth a shot.

My rear folding seats wont fold down to allow me access to my trunk. i know they lock, but my owners manual is locked in the trunk and i do not know how to unlock the folding seats.

When you open the trunk, there should be a knob at the top right of the opening. Pull that and it will unlock the locking mechanism for the rear seats. I just recently figured that one out myself!

2005 audi a8 trunk + upgrades for ipod integration

I had exact same problem, but what I found out was a three step solution to the problem.
1) The trunk lock above the trunk lid tself - sometimes looses coiling retention for the lock to work properly, which in effect does not properly lock wrap around the pull down electronic unit located in the body of the car/trunk that catches and pull the trunk lid down SOLUTION: check and make sure lock is works properly. you cab check by opening trunk and locking it with remote key, then pry the lock with a screw driver to see if it unlocks or stays locked

2) The motor catching unit in the body of the car/trunk that catches the lid and draws it down can be off balance (sitting too low to catch the lock (upper trunk lid with lock) to pull it down and stay locked. Have a mechanic - Audi preferrably, check the positon and allignment to adjust it, so it can catch trunk lid and lock to stay locked. HOPE THIS HELPS!
