I can hear the trunk latch working but trunk lid won't budge.

Have a companion push down on the trunk while you pull on the cord.

Best wishes!

That doesn't work. Can the rear bumper be removed with the trunk. Closed? Would that give me any access to the latch?

I don't know. You might check a vid on removing the rear bumper cover and see if the trunk lid up is necessary.

Best wishes.

No and no.
It may take a good yank to open the lid with the cable. the problem is the routing of the cable: does anyone remember where this wire feeds through?
Once you get it open you will need to replace the latch solenoid with a new one. They get lazy eventually.

That's not good. Pulling any harder might pull it off the hack stand. I hate to saw a hole in a perfectly good deck lid.

Okay, it looks like I lied about the bumper. If you rais and remove the spoiler, you have access to the 3 screws at the top of the bumper
