Try adjusting the bracket on the stationery locking mechanism - it has loosened or become dislocated.
in the trunk
Bad seal around trunk
My trunk is leaking. If it's raining, water come in when I open the trunk to load groceries or whatever.
In the trunk underneath the floor
Something is wrong with my 1991 Toyota Corolla Dx's trunk latch. It will not let me close the lid shut and it stay shut. It will not stay latched. There is nothing no obstruction. Can you help me? Thanks
Check if there is a trunk release lever on the left side of the drivers seat by the gas door release lever.
I have looked all over my 92 Toyota many times for a trunk release, but to no avail. Only one of the pair of keys that the car has will open the trunk, so if you have both, try the other one. My guess is that if you cannot use a key to open the trunk, you may be able to get in through the back seat. My "92" Corolla does have one key that works on the trunk but the mechanism jamed up on me so the key no longer works.It might if you can free it up. Fortunatley my LE came with a trunk release next to the gas release so it might depend on the model and make. You could maybe install one for cheap! Good luck.
I don't know.What I would do is call Toyota and see what they can do for you.
the SEL doesnt have one
you get something very stiff and keep trying to lever it open, if this doesnt work smash the uncscrew the screws and crawl in, if this doesnt work then just brake your trunk
you have to acess it from inside the trunk drive safe
If by 'controller' you mean the switch that makes the brake lights come on, it is not in the trunk. It is located underneath the dashboard, next to the brake pedal.
