Try squinting some good lubricant in the lock with the key and wiggling it around. Also lube the latch mechanism itself. Do not twist the key too hard because it can bend and/or break.

SOURCE: lock out code

I've heard of people using Delco Lock Codes (http://www.delcolockcodes.com) to get their radios unlocked. They seems like a legit site from what I've read. Good luck!!

SOURCE: Inside trunk release won't open

1. Open trunk
2. Place latch in lock position
3. Pull inside trunk release to see what isn't moving
4. If trunk key won't turn, the key may be worn out and need to be replaced

SOURCE: I have a 2004 chevy cavalier and the trunk latch won't click into place and close fully, therefore the trunk won't close fully.

yes that could be the problem. try this putt your key in to the lock and turn it to unlock it , check to see if latch is open ,while still holding the key in the unlock position close the trunk and relock it with the key while pushing down on the hood at the same time. replace the lock when you can .there is no quick fix for this unless u use a bungee cord for it .

Is there a fuse for the trunk of my 1997 Chevy lumina that can be causing a grinding sound when I push the yellow trunk switch button that can be blown out?

fuses do not make a grinding sound. You will need to open trunk and inspect/replace trunk release

2000 Chevy lumina security light is on.my father say is something wrong with the key Its possible

The problem is NOT with the key - it is with the wiring associated with your security system. Could have some sensor stuck in a closed position. Best bet is to get a hold of the security system schematic and check each and every sensor for proper operation.
Could be a trunk sensor, hood sensor, etc.

1997 Chevy Monte Carlo key is stuck in trunk lock

I would try loosening up the key and lock with wd40. Then wiggle the key around a bit and hopefully it will come out. Just be careful not to use enough force to break off the key in the lock.

1990 chevy lumina van lock broken and can't gain entrance to end. Any solutions to open or replace a lock?

Does Lumina sedan have rear seat pass thru to trunk ?? if sedan then a pull tab will be in seat upholstery near shelf / by rear window . pull it crawl in with Light Plus friend on outside to hand tools .. IF VAN must remove interior panels to gain access .. Try small thin needle nose pliers to pick broken KEY Piece out of lock 1 ST . if successful spray in Lubricant before trying another key . BUT must be reason lock jammed -- Frozen by weather change or Mechanism Disconnected due to lack of lubrication or worse Plastic Parts used in assembly by Factory .. DRILLING Lock Out will get it Open but new / used parts to repair are now on your shopping list ..

Brake Light Problem -1997 Chevy Lumina

The ground wire in the trunk area, coming from the brake light harness, might have come off or really loose. Hope this will get your lights working again. Best wishes.
