Hi, I can not open my 2007 TL trunk neither fob nor release bottom inside the car. Switch in glove box is on. I can hear the unlock sound but it can not pop up. Also, there are boxes in the trunk so I cant reach out to emergency switch on the lid.

Please help!!! Thanks and tons of appreciation.

 

I think someone mentioned it before that there is manual pull behind rear seat armrest somewhere at the top of the opening.

 

See post #4

"The release is a small plastic handle on the end of a cable on top just inside the trunk."

Is it possible the boxes in your trunk are pushing up against the trunk? If so, I would try and push down on the trunk while using your key fob to open and pull up. Just a thought.

 

according to the owner manuel, the release is on the opposite side of license plate too far to reach from armrest hole.

 

There is second one. Reach through the pass with your palm facing up a few inches into the trunk you will feel a small cut out It is about 2X2 inches you will not miss it there is only one. I just looked at mine from inside the trunk during lunch hour.

 

wrong post.

 

I think it was purposely omitted from manual otherwise any valet could have access to information how to unlock trunk without key.

 

Thanks OC; I got it open. But still thinking how to fix it by myself before taking to mechanist. i suspect I need to replace the truck lock latch.

 

^ Here's an idea. With the trunk open, use a screwdriver to mechanically engage the lock (simulate with screwdriver what trunk would do to latch when closing). Now use your keyfob to see if you can open the lock. If you can- then the lock is bound up with the latch and you might need to adjust the latch by loosening the two 10mm bolts holding the latch so you can adjust things a little- and then re-tighten the bolts.

Good luck!
