Remove the plastic lock cover from the trunk side, to ensure that the rod
that controls that function  (in the horizontal position) has not fallen
out of it's slot. Suggest that someone else lock/unlock the door while
you're watching the rods to ensure that they are moving properly. On my car
(88 90Q), it's the rod coming from the left side that controls your
problem.
