how do i replace a trunk lock with another lock that has a key

the handle is located inside the trunk near the lock mechanism
Unfortunately, if your locking mechanism has failed there is no way to open your trunk alone. You will need to go to a mechanic so they can replace the lock.
It is not possible to replace the trunk lock on a 1993 Caprice Classic while the trunk is closed. A person will have to remove the back seat, crawl into the trunk and open the lock manually before it can be replaced.

The trunk lock on a 1989 Chevrolet Caprice is replaced by removing the retaining clip and unscrewing the bolts holding it in place. The lock can then be pulled through the opening and a new lock put in place.
