How to get around a 2005 Buick lacrosse trunk release failure?

Question

I have a 2005 buick lacrosse for some reason the trunk will not open with the remote. It is a keyless trunk so I use the other trunk release button that is in the car and it still wont open. And it looks like there is no manual release button in the car either; I am stumped. Does anyone know if there is a way to open the trunk manually? thanks.

Answer 1

You should be able to open it with the key, if it won't open with the key the linkage could be broken or disconnected. You could also have a bad lock actuator.

Answer 2

I don't know if Buick has a way to get in through the back seat, but other gm cars have that access.  Pry the back seat off the clips and fold it down and crawl through the trunk and fix it.  It might have a natural fold down seat that goes to trunk and if it does it can be fixed ok.

Answer 3

Maybe this will sound hard but try getting out and use the key to open it. J/k but check your fuses to see if that might help.
