Trunk lock broke - no trunk release button inside car (1999)
We own a 1999 Pontiac Bonneville. Last year the trunk lock ceased working. (Key would go in but not turn.) We had the lock replaced by a professional locksmith with genuine GM lock.
The lock has stuck again.
The main problem is that the 1999 Bonneville does not appear to have a trunk release anywhere within the car. (Which is odd, because my 1989 Toyota had one.)
A dealership told me it should have one, according to the VIN number, but they couldn't find it. There'* nothing in the manual.
Anyone else either have this problem or can anyone tell me "there definately is a button and it is hidden here..."
Thanks in advance,
-Bill

Take a look at your drivers door...right under the handle. Presto, there'* the button. Now just hope the lock out switch in the trunk isn't pushed the wrong way.
Edit: Fargin Travis....next time you better use proper grammer and upper as well as lower case.
