key won't open it, switch on fob won't and neither will the switch in the door. I can hear it trying but no luck. your ideas (especially based on past experience) most appreciated, thanks!

fixed it, took inner panel off and nothing seems amiss. perhaps it was stuck and had something to do power loss after alternator fiasco, dunno

it seems like you have some broken wires on the left side trunk hinge.Just cut it open and repair some wires.Hope that helps

slightly irrelevant... but are there any tricks to loosen up the hydraulics on the trunk lift? When I bought this car, the trunk used to open on its own and now it's much stiffer...
