they should have both the Haynes 405 manual (sold only in th UK by
Haynes...but available in the US with a littel searching, and the set of
factory manuals...you don't need all of them, but the electrical and
engine checks, repairs, adjustments manuals are pretty handy..You should
be able to buy the latter two for $50. Haynes will run you $25 to $30.
What happens when you insert key into trunk key hole and turn without
pressing in?
You must remember not to press the key hole button in while turning the
key...maybe the ignition was re-keyed and it does not match the
trunk....if that's the case a good locksmith will be able to fix it. If
you are really stuck, you may be able to get it from the ski bag in the
middle of the rear seat...you will ruin the bag.
several of us have re-wired the trunk to un-lock when the car is
unlocked..currently the trunk locks when the car is locked, but will not
unlock without the key. Cliff Poulin came up with the re-wire
instructions which take 15 minutes. you do need acces to the trunk
though.
