A capnut was found inside the lock housing and had the lock jammed, The trunk lid was opened by applying downward pressure on the trunk Lid and jiggling the lock.It was taken to a Toyota Dealor for service.
There might be a trunk release button in the glove box.
Our mechanic had to climb through the inside of the car, into the trunk area and open it by removing the hatch cover. That's the only way he could replace the latch.
Remove the back seat.
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
Open the hood and you will fidn them. DO not think they are in the trunk :)

no, unless you take your backseat out
To fix a trunk latch that is stuck open, the teeth on the lock may have to be adjusted so the trunk will close. It is also possible that the cable for the trunk latch is broken. To fix the gas cap door latch may require a little bending and adjusting with a pair of pliers.
you have to go to a mechanic and they will fix it te hook might have been dented and will not come out of the latch
If the trunk on a Honda Civic will not close the locking mechanism may be jammed. Be sure to remove any obstructions on inside the trunk latch. If the latch is broken replace it.
