rear trunk stuck

[lilredpo]

I have a 2002 Boxster S that I can't open the rear trunk.

The key fob and interior button, when pressed, do cause a solenoid sound from the trunk, but no release.

The front works fine.

Is there another way in?

Thanks in advance.

Do you have something in the trunk that could be causing it to bind?

Might try pressing down slightly while you press the key fob. Might cause what's binding to release.

Weak solenoid or binding latch . Needs further investigation.

I think there is an emergency release cable hidden underneath the rear bumper on the left side, you might have to take the wheel and cover off to access. I've seen photos posted on this before on other projects that requires removal of the rear bumper. The rear trunk has 3 release cable, 1 for the releasing from inside the trunk one for the solenoid and one for this emergency release from outside as I've mentioned. I'll try and find more info in the meant time.

Good Luck
