Re: Failure of trunk lock

[Ed Skladany <eds@njcc.com>]

Assuming your trunk is locked in the 'disable power lock' position,
there isn't much you can do to get into it.  When this happened on
my '93 90S, I went through much anguish until I just took the
car to a locksmith who isn't afraid to work on foreign cars (call
around).  He found that two wafers were stuck and he managed to
get it open with his pick tools, then took the cylinder out and
cleaned it right there while I waited.  It took a mere $45 and
an hour and my problem was over.  This is probably one of those
things best done by a professional.  Much less stress.
