Trunk Problems 2002 Jetta TDI

Hello, i have a 2002 VW Jetta TDI GLS Auto, and my trunk does not open. I use the trunk button on the key and that does not work. I also put the key in the VW symbol on the trunk and turn it to the left. That does not even work. Please if someone could help me that would be much appreciated.

Thank you!!

Turn it way left, like HARD left. You should pop it.

Mine does this too, the part to replace it is expensive enough that I don't bother. Do some more searching here on the forum, you'll find a few threads about it.

Trunk not opening

Try hard to open it with the key,It'll open eventually,then check the wiring on the left side near the hinge and you'll see a broken one.
Good luck

Okay thank you!

It may also be the plastic piece that always breaks on these things. I had to pick up a trunk fix kit for mine due to the plastic piece breaking from this place: http://jettatrunk.com/ Works great now.

If it isn't that wire, my bet is the plastic piece mentioned above. I had this same issue and fixed it with some JB Weld. It just requires removing the cover inside the trunk lid and seeing if everything is working correctly.
