Squirt some WD-40 on the trunk mechanizm and that should do the trick, or maybe a loose wire.
The power trunk lid has to be activated by pushing the trunk release button on the remote twice. to close the trunk,, do like wise.
In your glove box should be two buttons one is the trunk release button and the other one is a flasher button.
The lock is behind the Lincoln emblem on the trunk. Or press the lockable trunk release button on the inside driver door panel.
the seat release is in the trunk.
Have a helper pull the release handle while you look at the release mechanism. This will tell you if the cable is broken or if the problem is in the trunk mechanism.
You don't. Let it die.
Read your manual. There is a switch in the glove box to disable the trunk release button on the dash. you lock the glove box with the regular key. When you give someone the valet key they can not get in the trunk.
did you figure out how to get it done? Mine has broke as well...
Check switch iin glove compartment left side facing. you may have inadvertaly switched it off.
I was looking at the 2000 Lincoln LS Owner Guide and it states that it is on the INSTRUMENT PANEL , next to the fuel filler door release button ( unfortunately the drawing of the button doesn't show exactly where it is )
In the TRUNK..............on the back of the Trunk Hood.
pull the release in the trunk
