Hey, some f*ckhead broke the plastic facia plate and ripped the lock right off the car along with twisting the metal into a mess, my question, I have the remote trunk release on my car, and want to know if I can bolt a metal plate over the damage, will I be able to use the trunk release to open the trunk?

At the moment the trunk release doesnt work, Any ideas as what to look for to fix it? Also any idea as how to open the trunk now???

Those bastards couldnt get the trunk open, they got the doors open and got my OHHH so valuable $35 600 JENSON amp , they didnt get my blown RF punches though I bet they were pissed, at least theres something to laugh about.... THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!

 

BTW I have the motor pull down thingy, dont know if its important, it works, no too good, but works... :hail:THANKS!!

 

ANY help? To any question? Im really in a bind here...

 

if u look i the hole where the key lock was ull see a slot, stick a flat head screw driver in it and trn it clockwise, or is it counterclockwise...anyway turn it the way it will turn and the hatch will open...

 

Thank you!, thats what I was thinking but didnt want damage anything further... Any1 know about the trunk pop, will that work still, or is the lock an integral part of the system??

 

its not part of the system, the pop uses a cable that pulls the part that closes on the erg i wish i knew what the call the stuff, anyway the hatch release releases when u pullt he swtich goes through a solinoid inthe end releasing the hatch, i bet if the guys breaking in knew all they needed was a screwdriver theyd be mad...lol

 

Thanks for the help, Im just happy I took out my Kenwood crap and was peicing together something crappy so I could sell the car...

So it seems like my bootleg "shaved" rear will work... GOOD GOOD

 

using the screwdriver to open it....does it damage the lock at all?

 

how can it? th lock is gone..lol my 85 had the lock that i pulled out then used the screw driver on the release its self..worked dandy....

 

oh hah....i guess i missed that part.....i thought u meant the slot where u put in the key

 

Hey, the part that the screwdriver goes through was'nt right there, I had to get a coat hanger and fish it back down, I guess when they ripped it off the latch pulled back, but its open and subs are now out of the car and the trunk cover is open so everyone can see I have NOTHING back there...

Anyone know a way to diagnose the trunk release? like what to look for, seems like everything backthere is hooked up and the button isnt broken when I hit it I hear it click, but isnt popping the back... Dont know to much about it...

 

i had one that did that, and inthe end quit workin, adjust the cable, it must not be pulling, the click is the seloind (horrilbe spelling)

 

where can I adjust the cable? be specific so I dont **** it up...

THANK YOU!!

 

i have no clue..im pretty sure if u look at it ull figure it out ive seen it before but i cant picture it, just take a good look, or your hayans manual will help u

 

lol, it looks like a mess back there, guess Ill play with it later, thanks man

 

is yours power or not? th cable drivin one doesnt look bad, its got a black cable entering from the right (if u are standing ablove it) i think theres a adjusting screw or something, power hatch, never seen one out of a car, i would bet its hard to work with though
