I'm not sure what you mean by breaking, but i have a 95 cavalier, and sometimes, if the trunk release is not all the way down, the trunk lid will bounce back up....i just push it down and the trunk shuts easially every time
hope this helps
Most likely.
* 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
there is a cable that runs from the trunk release lever to the latch inside the trunk. you should be able to disconnect it from the latch inside the trunk
This is the solution for a 2004 model: In the trunk on the top there are two straps that look like they go on a back pack. You need to pull those down and it undoes a latch on the back of the seats.
Approximately 85 percent of the parts of the 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier and the 1998 Pontiac sun fire are interchangeable. Most of the parts that are not interchangeable are in the passenger compartment.
Take the back seat out and climb thru and turn the rod going thru the latch.

Go thru the back seat and remove the 2 bolts that mount the latch ,or, pop off the black cable end from the trunk lock and turn it
you probably broke the little piece of plistic in the black box the actual opens the latch. This could have been done by slaamming the trunk. I have the same problem. I super glued it once and then broke it again when my heavy bike rack was on the trunk.
Have the same problem with mine. Lent the car to a friend and he did not relize the trunk was power assisted and kept slamming it down breaking the latch and sensor. Now the trunk will not close.. Am ordering a manual converson kit today from Strutmasters who I also ordered replacement struts.. Good luck
my trunk latch won't work what could be wrog
Unplug the wires going to the trunk latch.
