To replace the trunk release cable on a Chevy Cavalier, first, remove the interior panel of the trunk area to access the cable mechanism. Disconnect the old cable from the latch and the release handle. Install the new cable by securing it to the latch and reattaching the release handle, then test the operation before replacing the interior panel. Finally, ensure all components are properly secured and the panel is reinstalled.
How difficult is it ro replace the trunk cable in a 1998 camry? The trunk is stuck shut and I was told the cable snapped. Thanks!
To replace the engine compartment release cable on a 2000 MR2 Spyder, first, open the trunk and locate the cable's attachment point near the latch. Disconnect the old cable by removing any clips or fasteners securing it in place. Then, route the new cable through the same path, ensuring it is properly seated in its channels, and reattach it to the latch. Finally, test the release mechanism to ensure it operates smoothly before closing the trunk.
With a key or from the inside.
To fix the trunk release lever in a 2003 Toyota Echo, first, check the lever's connection to the cable and ensure it isn't disconnected or damaged. If the cable is intact, inspect the lever itself for any signs of wear or breakage. If necessary, replace the lever or cable by removing the trim panel in the trunk area for access. Reassemble everything and test the lever to ensure it functions properly.
To open a trunk when there is no key and the cable release is broken, it is necessary to remove the back part of the rear seat. In some vehicles there is a small part of the bench seat back that will pull down to access the trunk.
Have a helper pull the release handle while you look at the release mechanism. This will tell you if the cable is broken or if the problem is in the trunk mechanism.
dealers can do it - they have a way to get in from the engine compartment but won't share how it is done :(
Look in the trunk- there ought to be an emergency release- you might have to pull the trunk's liner back a bit to access this cable with a tab attached to it.
Release cable in trunk up against firewall in rear
The hood release cable snakes into the cabin of the car through the firewall. To replace the cable remove the old wire. Zip tie the new cable to the old one and pull it out. This will easily snake the new cable into place. Install the new cable on the release and lever.
