RE: Trunk Lock

[Craig Krivin <CKRIVIN@CSI.compuserve.com>]

To all of you that have told me that I have something broken that I didn't
even know was broken.....

Gee, Thanks a Lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
:)
Seriously, I really didn't know, but I'll check the vacuum line and the
other parts back there (per your advice) since the rest of my power locks
SEEM to operate just fine.  
BTW, Is there an easy way to get the sound insulating pad separated from
the trunk lid?

The 9-3 lock position on the trunk should allow the trunk to lock and
unlock along with the doors using the central locking system.  This has
always been the case on both my '91 90Q 20V and my '93 90CS.  If your
central locking system is functioning, i.e. the vacuum pump operates and
the four doors lock and unlock, then I would check the locking mechanism
at the trunk latch.  I've had one occasion when the vacuum hose became
disconnected and another time when it simply needed lubrication.
