2000 Intrepid Trunk Lock

My 2000 Intrepid Trunk Lock is not working. I cannot open it from the inside button, or the remote lock or with the key. I am wondering if I climb in the trunk through the backseat, if there's a way I can open the trunk from inside the trunk...?

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.

I need to open the trunk of a 2000 Grand Prix. No key and trunk button does not work

Trunk button inside glove box or on a remote? If remote, the remote might just need a new battery.

Might be able to unlatch it from inside trunk. The back seat(s) generally fold down for more "trunk" room. Try getting inside from there. You can take to a locksmith or dealer. Otherwise, ruin the lock by shoving a screwdriver in there and turning it forcefully..

The cable for the remote in the trunk came loose, now the trunk won't open with either the key or the button on the door. what to do?

You should be able to go in through the back seat. It will be a chore to remove the seat, but will probably be the only way to get in there. There is a safety release cable in the trunk that will opne it the lid for you once you get inside

But a used 2006 solara but key fob does not remotely open trunk. Any suggestions?

Yes, insure that you have power to the trunk lock inside trunk, If not could be lose/broken wire or shot fuse. I am sure the key fob does work for the doors? If not have key fob battery replaced. Also, a quick check on power to trunk lock, check to see if have remote power button inside car, if it works power is good. Defective key fob would then be indicated.

The trunk on my 2000 volvo s-40 wont open

you'll need to insert your key into the trunk lock. prior to doing this you'll need to use the automatic lock on the driver side of the vehicle, hit the unluck button twice. Torn the key in the trunk to the left, you may have to slightly press the trunk button in while doing this and give it a lttle wiggle after the key has been turneed to the left push the button all the way in, if this does not work repeat the process but reverse to the right instead of the left.

This manually disables the remote lock for your trunk.

How a fuel cap lock and trunk remote open actually works?

Either a button on your key fob, or one in glove box, or under dash, are pushed & an electric solenoid, (actuator) will open trunk. Gas lid may be same, but usually just a lever down near drivers left leg or beside drivers seat. Is there more that your asking?
