Rear Trunk Lid Will Not Open
 

New to this board. I have a 2002 Boxster. Tried to open the rear trunk today and no luck. Battery is fine, car runs great, and front trunk opens with no problem. Using either the interior switch or the key won't pop the trunk. I can hear the opening mechanism cycle, but no luck. There has to be a manual way to get this open. Any and all advice greatly welcomed.
Thanks

There is a thin cable burried usually on the driver side hidden in the back bumper. Might have to remove wheel well plastic to find it...pull that cable and trunk will pop.

Thanks
 

Trimer - Thanks - I'll give it a try.

Edit: just found this - http://www.fixya.com/cars/t743589-access_rear_trunk_release_cable It should be of help! Here's the relevant copy:

I removed the rear driver's side wheel and pulled back the inner fender well just enough to see in and there was no cable to pull. Anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks

You can remove the rear bumper and access the emergency cable. Only takes about 15 minutes. Then you can reroute the cable to the wheelwell where it belongs also
