I had a problem of the trunk not staying close when shut. it was because for some reason the bracket on the bottom side was not seated properly although there were no visible dents or bending. At first i replaced the opening mechanism with one from a junk yard, and that did not work. In the end all that was needed was to change the angle of the bracket on the bottom, to do this.
Loosen the to hex bolts on the bracket
On the bottom side of the bracket put something ~1/8" thick between the bracket and the body of the car ( I used a thick zip tie because it is easy to slide in).
re-tighten bolts.
If it still does not close try using something thicker.
Sorry, but your question makes no sense at all. What does a trunk lock have to do with your car starting or not.
the boot lock is jammed and I cant get it to unlock so that I can secure the car - how do I unlock it please? Key wont work
replace the door or buy a new car.
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.
Reverse the way you jammed it
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.
To lock the trunk of a Mercedes E320, you can simply press the lock button on your key fob after closing the trunk. Alternatively, you can lock the vehicle using the central locking button inside the car or by turning the key in the driver's door lock. Ensure that the trunk is fully closed for it to lock properly. If you have the keyless entry system, just walking away from the vehicle should also lock the trunk automatically.
