Do any lights turn on when the door is opened? Was the key left in the ignition? sounds like a dead battery. If so there is a orange to red copper clad post (rectangular) in the fuse panel. connect the positive clip of charger or jumper cable to that post then connect the ground end to body. I use the door latch bolt. pull the trunk lever.

I went out and started the car for 10 seconds. Both levers remained locked.

The good news is that there were no noises and it idled just fine.

Next?

I'm fighting a similar issues with my 1998....the FRUNK release feels "locked" only raises about an 1".... But on mine the truck release is working normally.... I did get it to open a couple of times by haveing a friend push on the hood, while lifting the lever.... But it may have been incidental....

Thanks!
Fred

Mine aren't lifting a quarter inch. And... it's both trunks. Worked fine until the coolant dump?

Coincidental?

C'Mon guys... any takers? Can't begin doing JDS until I have trunk access.

Thank you.
