[s-cars] Re: Trunk lock malfunction

[William Noland]

Most likely, the link between the lock and the latch is disconnected.
Open the trunk, with your glovebox button, and remove the screws holding
the inside cover. You'll most likely see that the arm has popped out of
 the plastic piece that holds it at the lock.
