This seems to be a common failure. The lock and lock motor assembly need to be replaced. I'm working on the same problem on my 2000 focus right now. I'm trying to get the lock cylinder of from the old lock/motor assembly. Any advice?
There may be something blocking the trunk.
A 2001 Jetta has an emergency trunk release lever along the side of the trunk. It allows children or those accidentally locked in the trunk to easily escape from inside.
On a 01 model, you should have a trunk release button in the trunk, or on the drivers door. If that doesnt work, you can see about lowering the rear seats down, and getting into the trunk that way. There should be a little pull strap near the trunk lock that will open the trunk. There is a trunk release button - when you open the glovebox, it is to the left of the opening so that it cannot be seen unless glovebox is open.
In a 2001 Volvo S40, the trunk release button is located on the driver's side, typically on the lower dashboard area near the door. There is also a keyhole for manual access to the trunk located on the trunk lid itself. Additionally, you can open the trunk using the remote key fob if equipped.
Should be in the "trunk"/luggage area, on the left, behind the upholstery.
Glove Box
Yes, the 2001 Volvo S40 is equipped with an emergency trunk release feature. This release is typically located inside the trunk itself, allowing passengers to open the trunk from the inside in case of an emergency. It's a safety feature designed to help anyone who might be accidentally trapped in the trunk to escape. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific instructions on locating and using this feature.
If you do not have a yellow trunk release button in the glove box. there is an emergancy release handle inside of the trunk. Fold down your rear seat back and there is a white plastic handle pull it and the trunck will open.
It is down on the kick panel in front of the drivers door.
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.
