2006 Lexus Es 330 - Page 6 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
I have a 2006 Lexus LS 430 and cannot open the trunk
A trunk lid is secured into position using a latch and striker similar to those used for the hood and doors. The striker is a U-shaped piece of metal fixed to the trunk lid. The latch is a mechanism that hooks around striker and holds it tightly until the latch release lever is pulled. Latch release levers can be actuated electronically via a solenoid and switch or mechanically via a cable and handle. The most common failure item with electronic systems is the solenoid actuator which is typically integrated into the latch itself. For manual release systems the most common failure items is the cable which tends to snap internally, especially if there is a problem with the latch such as binding. Accessing the trunk area to replace the necessary parts can be tricky if the trunk won't open; in these cases I'd recommend trying to open the trunk with the key (if it has a lock cylinder) otherwise the back seats will need to be laid down or removed in order to get to gain access.

Wher is number 6 cylinder on 1997 Lexus lx450
If yours is fitted with the 4.5 litre 'inline' straight 6 engine, cylinder number 6 is easy to find. Stand with the belts and pulleys nearest to you and the Transmission (Gearbox) furthest away from you. Number ONE is nearest to you then number 2 and so on. That means Number 6 is the cylinder furthest away from you.

Hi, I have a Lexus 220D on 57 (UK September 2007 March 2008) plate. I can't open the boot!
Question edited for clarity. We are a North American website.
.... and a British girl at that :>D Your vehicle looks like my 2005 ES330. I am British but live in Canada.
I was thinking there might be a fuse but I don't see one

Then I remembered... I think you will find there is a button in the glove box that disconnects the power to the boot open button by the driver's knee..
Another thought is that the boot rubber seals really stick tight. When you use the key and hear the click, pull up really hard.
Finally, the rear seat centre armrest has access to the boot on mine. Shine a torch in there and pull the emergency release lever on the underside of the boot lid. You may have to fashion a loop of rope on the end of a wooden dowel to reach it, or open out a wire hanger.
