Here are several answers from FAQ Farmers: * If the trunk lock is broken, it's probably one of those things that needs to be replaced.. after all if your keeping valuable items in your trunk, you want something that will lock up. A lock is a fairly intricate peice of hardware, and with many small parts to it, it's difficult to fix. A locksmith, is probably not a good idea. They may not care about the car itself and cause more trouble than they are worth, a mechanic will be willing to replace the lock, or fix it if possible. The only problem this these locks, is that often, the lock housing is located between your cars outer...skin... and the metal framing for the trunk. Since these two have been welded and assembled in the shop years ago, they are extremely difficult to access. * It depends. If the sheet metal was damaged, that will have to be repaired first, or the lock won't seat properly. That's done by a body shop. The lock itself would have to be looked at-by a locksmith. If it's not possible to repair, a new one can be installed and keyed to match. This is NOT something many car dealers or mechanics can do. Removal and replacement of the lock cylinder isn't very difficult, BTW-if not self-evident, a service manual should show how.

Yes, you can lock a 1996 Ford Crown Victoria's trunk from inside the car by using the trunk release mechanism. If the trunk release lever is functional, pulling it will unlock the trunk, and then you can manually lock it using the key or the trunk lock itself. Additionally, ensure that the trunk's latch is functioning properly to keep it secured. However, there is no electronic way to lock the trunk from the inside; it must be done manually.
To remove a trunk lock from the outside of a car, start by opening the trunk and locating the screws or bolts that secure the lock mechanism. Depending on the model, you may need to remove the interior trunk lining to access these fasteners. Once exposed, use the appropriate tools to unscrew or unbolt the lock assembly. Finally, disconnect any wiring or clips if the lock has electrical components, and gently pull the lock out from the trunk lid.
If it's the lock itself and not the latch, you might as well replace the lock.
