>   Well I seem to batting a 1000 right now with lock problems, today I went
to unlock my trunk and it seems normal but will not open. A little
background is the vacum actuator has never worked so I just use the key to
manually open it. I do not know if the actuator has now worked and the
electrical connection will not release it or if the latch ,key has failed.
Is there any way short of drilling out the lock to open the trunk I searched
the archives and found no help. Thanks, George
