Trunk lid won't open

[L DC]

Thanks Cody, and everyone else.

Yes, is the same car, Cody; locking mechanism in the
center of the trunk not to the side.

I think I'm screwed.

I have tools, including a floor jack, in its box,
laying across inside the trunk. Hey, how the hell
would I have known the lock was going to break?? 

As far as the central locking mechanism is concerned,
it works for the doors, but I don't think it worked
for the trunk. That was one of the "minor" things I
was going to get to eventually.

Just on Thurday, I opened the trunk but noticed I had
to play with the key a bit, unlike before. Yes, same
key opens front door and starts the vehicle.

Also, I recall that in order to retrieve the key, I
had to turn in back to the vertical position, every
time I closed the lid.

Thank you again for your input.
