i had the same problem with a 97 z24...i noticed that the hook connected to the body of the car (not the actual latch on the trunklid) was attached to some thin sheetmetal that bent downward. all i did was pry it up higher and it latched perfectly again.
Most likely.
because it doesnt
you get something very stiff and keep trying to lever it open, if this doesnt work smash the uncscrew the screws and crawl in, if this doesnt work then just brake your trunk

If the door feels like it is "hitting" on something, it is probably either worn hinge pings or the latch located on the body of the car (and not the door itself) is out of adjustment. If it closes but doesn't latch, it is either a faulty handle, latch, or latch rod/cable. All of these parts should be available at your local auto parts store.
buy a new oneANS 2 - You can always adjust the strike plate OR the latch so they meet properly.
Hello, On your typical situation you want to find out for sure if its the door latch. If so a replacement can be purchased on eBay for around 30-40 dollars. A common problem for the Volvo 850 S70 Series is the latch becomes in operate able and the only fix is a new or used latch/lock. But be sure to diagnose it correctly as the latch as it could also be the other things as well such as loose or unaligned latch or something obstructing the closer of the door.
Try lubricating the latch with WD-40, and then working the mechanisim back and forth for a bit. Make sure that the latch is moving all the way to the 'open' position, as failure to open properly can cause the latch not to engage.
* Remove the trunk lid latch * Detach the lock release box from the latch assembly * To detach the lock cylinder from the trunk lid pry off the retainer
Just going by the question...I would say that the latch has gotten in "the closed door position". Be sure that the door is unlocked. With your finger lift out on the latch on the end of the door and use the door handle to "open" the door latch.
The air bag module on a 2005 Chevy Cavalier is located under the passenger side seat. The sensor for the airbag is usually located close to the hood latch.
Take the back seat out and climb thru and turn the rod going thru the latch.
