I took may Battery out of my 2002 carrera and closed the trunk lid now I cant get it open. Is there a way I can open it Manually?

Behind the passenger side wheel covers, up towards the front bumper, is a stainless steel braided cable with a loop. Pull this to manually open the trunk. It is well hidden and an emergency solution to opening the trunk if the servo has failed, your fuse box power connection fails, or you have no power. Good luck

the trunk will not open because the rear deck lid is not latched.if you have someone push down on the rear lid the micro switch contact will close and then the trunk should be able to be opened

Hello there
In your left rear fender behind the fender lining is an "Emergency operating cable"to manualy open the lid.

I think it is electric right? But the battery is dead right? and the battery is in the ft trunk. lol I think there is a lever on the pass side kick pannel kind of where a hood release lever would be on the pass side

There is a possibility that the remote latch cable is stuck (lubrication is gone) . With a screwdriver, NOT the fingers, try to return manually the latch, to its open position (instead of the pull open position). If you push it too far, it will go into locked position, and when you pull down the trunk lid, it wont reach its normal closed position. In that case, pull the latch back open, with the remote lever. Should you manage to close the trunk properly, spray some WD40 or some lubricant on the latch assembly.

your going to have to use a jumper box.good luck.

Ok, you have an auto trunk opener/pulldown. The battery is dead and you opened the trunk with key. SO, now here is what happened. The trunk pulldown motor and latch did not go up as it normally does, in order to catch the the trunk lid as you close it. Connect a battery charger to the battery or put jumper cables on with another car. It should raise. If not flip the little lever on the BLACK switch near pull down latch.

The trunk should auto close when you manually lower the lid to the almost closed position, but it is NOT designed to open up fully when you hit the trunk release on the key fob, nor when you open the trunk manually using the touch sensitive button under the lip of the trunk.
