It worked for me. Just a shot in the dark, I will probably be called crazy by all the gurus on this site. It’s ok. If I can help it’s fine. Once it opens, inspect the cable and release mechanism. Lube them too. Do this for the trunk as well. Good luck
I thought of that too. Have tried at night as well as during the day & sprayed it with lubricant. Still no joy.
