Just this evening, after loading up my trunk with my briefcase and a case of CD's, neither the remote, the glove compartment button, nor the key will open the trunk. I have to go in through the rear seats to access it. There appears to be no manual opening mechanism located inside the trunk. And I can't find a way to release the locking mechnism. Any help?!?
using the key- the key won't turn
using glove compt button- latch doens't even make a sound
using remote- doors lock and unlock fine, but no action on the trunk
many thanks!

Is there any chance that there if force on the inside of the trunk from the cargo inside?
If this is the case, try to press down on the trunk lid and try to turn the key at the same time.
Is there any chance that you managed to get something caught in the locking mechanism (book cover, fabric, hanger etc.)? If so, the only remedy may be to take it to a body shop.
Sorry for your circumstances.

I have a 2001 regal and inside the trunk there is a yellow tab that you can pull to release the trunk. Maybe have someone on the outside push down as you are puuling lever
