I don’t have a valet key. Hitting the “unlock” the car button didn’t help. I WD-40’d it and then took the plastic piece off of the top of the lock and removed the tray and other fabrics revealing the lock AND Wallah WHAT WAS REVEALED-??? a metal lever that unlocks the lock manually. Screw drivers were used multiple times-but the lock would not budge till I did a little dismantalling. Done! Fixed. Goody, goody for me - a 70 yr old woman just saved her self a lot of $$.
