Hi All-

Like the title says I have a 2000 S and I go to open the Front Trunk and the release lever (on the driver side sill) is frozen solid. I try the Rear Trunk lever and the same deal, won't budge.

The car does have a low battery (won't turn over) as I was going to open the trunk to charge.

Has this happened to anyone else here and are there any steps I can take?

I have the Bently manual and I can't find much information about the trunk release cable other than a parts diagram and a reference to an emergency release cable on the right hand side. Right hand side could mean passenger or driver side, depending on the frame of reference.

I know that 2001+ the levers are electrically controlled, but this is a 2000 so I'm stuck with stuck levers.

Thank You-
