I cant get into my 2008 dodge charger trunk

The keyless entry and the button by the steering wheel wont open my trunk. I also tried using the actual key to open it, but when i inserted the key it wouldn't let me turn the key to open the trunk. I'm beginning to think I'll have to tear my rear seat apart to open it. Is there any other solutions or ideas?

    Your lock mechanism is jammed. Might be hard to open. However there should be a release handle in the trunk. Simply remove back seat get access to the trunk. Crawl inside find release handle pull it. Trunk should open. Before you open trunk get a replacement lock mechanism.

You might want to try spraying some brake cleaner in the key slot. insert the key part way so the slot is open. wd40 might also work. it sounds like something has jammed since the key will not turn.

Find the door trunk lock fuse and remove it. That should allow total Manuel opperation of your key. If you cant find fuse just disconnect the battery cables. Will work the same way. The lock solinoids are stuck in the lock position disconcerting the electric should disable it completely.

SOURCE: ignition key wont turn

Make sure car is in park then try moving ignition switch back towards you and then forward as if trying to start it. That seemed to work for our 86 Dodge 600 auto.

SOURCE: rear hatch wont open on a 2010 dodge caliber

There is no lever or any key hole it is a fully electric operated power latch. As to the cause the park brake must be engaged and the car in park gear position before the hatch will open, is it?

Trunk wont unlatch with keyless entry remote or trunk release button on door on 1997 lincoln continental

It sure sounds like a fuse. You can check for proper voltage at the hot wire of the actuator while you try to pop it. I think you are overlooking the fuse. Make sure the actuator has a good ground as well.

Keyless entry does not unlock doors, open trunk, or start vehicle (remote start built onto keyless entry). Battery is new in BOTH remotes and neither one works. Could a fuse in vehicle be bad? Secondly,...

RFA / MOD fuse 10amp . location - insturment panel fuse box. Fuse Block - I/P
Right side of the I/P, behind the access panel
If the fuse is good your best bet would be to take it to a qualified repair shop , that doesn't mean the dealer . Lot of good independant repair shops around , just have to check the yellow pages.
Do you know what DTC'S are ? diagnostic trouble codes ! Not only the ones for the engine management system OBD 2 . There are also DTC'S for the remote keyless entry system , BCM - body control module. You need a factory or professional scan tool to view this codes

DTC B3103
DTC B3106

The remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) communicates with the body control module (BCM) through the keyless entry serial data circuit. When any button on the keyless entry transmitter is pressed, the transmitter sends a signal to the RCDLR. The RCDLR sends a lock, unlock, or panic alarm request to the BCM, depending on which button is pressed on the transmitter. The BCM receives the message and performs the appropriate function. The BCM also uses the keyless entry serial data circuit in order to communicate with the RCDLR when programming transmitters. Do you know what serial data circuits are ?

DTC B3101 Keyless Entry Data Link Circuit Range/Performance
DTC B3102 Keyless Entry Data Link Circuit Low
DTC B3103 Keyless Entry Data Link Circuit High
DTC B3106 Keyless Entry Data Link Parity Error

This is what the factory manual said as to the location of power steering fluid reservoir ! Not much help , you would do better googling it.
The power steering fluid reservoir holds the power steering fluid and may be integral with the power steering pump or remotely located. The following locations are typical locations for the remote reservoir:
• Mounted to the front of the dash panel
• Mounted to the inner fender
• Mounted to a bracket on the engine

Lincoln keyless entry

On my 2007 Lincoln MKZ it's under the dash to the left of the steering wheel on a label just above the fuse box lid. There is a grey plug sort of in the way, but the plastic cover that the label is on has raised letters on it that says "SUPPLIER" on it.
