I had a problem of the trunk not staying close when shut. it was because for some reason the bracket on the bottom side was not seated properly although there were no visible dents or bending. At first i replaced the opening mechanism with one from a junk yard, and that did not work. In the end all that was needed was to change the angle of the bracket on the bottom, to do this.
Loosen the to hex bolts on the bracket
On the bottom side of the bracket put something ~1/8" thick between the bracket and the body of the car ( I used a thick zip tie because it is easy to slide in).
re-tighten bolts.
If it still does not close try using something thicker.
Sorry, but your question makes no sense at all. What does a trunk lock have to do with your car starting or not.
the boot lock is jammed and I cant get it to unlock so that I can secure the car - how do I unlock it please? Key wont work
replace the door or buy a new car.
Reverse the way you jammed it
Need to know what the vehicle is.
how do i replace a trunk lock with another lock that has a key
It will cause less damage to trunk by drilling through it with a cobalt drill.
a 93 has it on rt trunk hinge
You need to add the type and year of car for this question to be answered.
Yes
It is manual, there is no trunk button whatsoever on the inside of the car, you need the key to get in. The lock on ours was broken, so we had to drill through the destroyed lock to open it :D
Have you tried the trunk lock button inside of the glove box? Greg
