I just did it in few minutes. Instead of trying to go through the key hole with various fine 'tools ", you need to look at the outside rimm as if it is a clock. At 5minutes and at 35 minutes , there are 2 metals parts that lock the mecanism. I used fine screwdrivers to lift the rim and proceded to get closer and closer to those metel parts. I just pushed the one at 5 minutes and did the same for the second one. Pouring a little bit of oil in the key hole BEFORE starting the main work, helped the mecanism to get loose. In half hour, i opened 2 old trunk! Et voila! Now I have to get the keys.......

How do you open the trunk when the key fails on a1993 Chevy Lumina?

Did your key break or just fail to open the trunk? If it just fails to open the trunk, try all of the old "jiggle" tricks. Spray some WD40 into the lock, bounce on it a few times (gently), and try turning the key a few different ways (push in hard, then not so hard; turn right then left, etc.). If you know the trunk is filled with something that might have gotten into the lock, get more aggressive - otherwise, gentle works better. If you key broke in the lock there is a way to get in through the back seat but it takes a lot more work.
