My trunk wont open.so i need to remove my rear seats so i can open the trunk from the inside?

Activator is disconnect at the powered unit inside. You need to gain access to this from inside the trunk/boot by removing the rear seat. Push the seat backwards with your knee while pulling upwards on the seat base. Same for both sides. Remove the back of the seat and go in the trunk to reconnect the activator.

1. You either have a section of rear seat that folds down or you don't. Most cars do and those vehicles will have a manual tab just behind the seat that is connected to a cable that will release the trunk lock unless the lock is broken. So check the top of your rear seat sections for release buttons that enable a section of seat to be folded down. Then look just inside the opening for the manual cable release.

2. If you have a car with no section of rear seat that can be folded down, you will have to unbolt the rear seat to get access to the trunk. You need to remove the bottom section of the seat first. This will just pull up from the front and you can remove it from the car. Then you should be able to access the bolts that hold the upright section of seat in place.

If that model has a fold down section of the rear seat back, the manufacturer normally installs an accessible manual boot release tab in the vicinity of the fold down seat section just inside the trunk compartment.

If there is no fold down seat in that model or no manual boot release inside the trunk area, the rear seat needs to be removed so that you can access the trunk from inside the car.

someone moved the switch in the or should i say on the trunk lock itself to disable the trunk release from inside, SO...



Bottom of seat where your Butt goes, Has to be pushed hard to the rear bumber from the front on both side driver and passenger in the rear to disengage the rear catch then the rear seat comes up,





Next you should see 2 screws at the bottom of the back rest remove them and lift the back out, then your going to need a long screw driver or extensions for ratchet to unbolt the lock from the inside and that should be that,? Have fun.

You can use the manual release to open the boot/trunk. The battery is in the boot. No need to remove the rear seat.

There should be a black handle beside the driver's seat, closest to the door to pull and release the trunk lock. Let me know if you need anything else.

By switching the lever you locked the inside trunk release, you will need to put lever back. as far as the trunk you may need to remove the rear seat, pop lower part out and then remove the bolts to the top half of the seat then try to reach the lever so it will open from the inside. i've found that many of these cars with the pop lever inside have sticking trunk locks from not being used, what you do first is spary lock good,with wd40 or pb blaster then slide key in and out and try to turn this may take a whhile but it works then tumbler will free up, you just have to keep spraying inside lock and working the key.

Get access to the cable for the trunk release. Have it pulled to open the trunk.

you will need to remove the rear seat to gain access to the trunk. once inside you should be able to manually release the lock. you may have to rip out the trunk lid trim.

I have the same problem with 94 Cadillac, trunk is locked and can't open, cannot get rear seat back off, any suggestions how?
