if you here it clicking its not the wiring,fuse,switch or rear latch. There is a plastic arm at latch,it broke on mine.You have to remove back panel to replace it.dealer will remove for you. I cut a hole and covered it with a plate for future access.
Under the panel with the keyhole on the trunk, there is a handle to open it. If that doesn't work, in the driver side door, there is a button that shows a picture of the trunk opened. Press that and the trunk will open.
The lever on the floor at the left side of the drivers seat operates both the trunk & the gas tank door. 1)Pull the lever up to open the trunk 2) Push the lever down to release the gas tank door.
You get a door jimmy and ope the door for the cabin of the car then you use the tab on the back seat to pull the seat open to get into the trunk compartment....or you could break a window to get in the cabin. you cant call onstar though because they cant open the locks when the battery is dead.
You can open it from inside the trunk by lowering the back seats. On the inside of the trunk door, there is a white lever. Pull it and the trunk will open.
Push the Trunk button on the driver door.
With the key, there is no trunk release inside the car. You use the same key you would use to open the door to open the trunk.
Press the trunk release switch on the drivers side door panel. If it doesn't have one, you're SOL and need to call a locksmith
make sure the trunk is unlocked - then just push on the forward end of the cover door and it should tilt open. The trunk lock will also lock the fuel door.
drill the lock and push in, lift open the trunk door

Look on the driver's door, near the bottom. There is a trunk button.
