Hi @donlee80811, do you mean that the lever by the driver's seat doesn't pop the trunk as it should? If this is the case, then the cable that connects the lever to the trunk latch has probably stretched. It may also have snapped/dislodged. This happens gradually over the years with cable latches, and you can usually fix it by adjusting the cable tension.

In to diagnose the issue, have someone sit in the driver's seat and pull the lever repeatedly. Then go around to the trunk and listen for the mechanism inside:

  • If you hear it working, then the cable has stretched and needs to be re-tensioned.
  • If not, the cable has probably snapped or dislodged from the latch mechanism. Watch this YouTube guide on how to replace it here

Give this a try and report back, we'll go from there
