I am new here HI ,

My trunk lock is now stuck closed after I put an ONGAURD CHAIN LOCK through the space behind the lock mecanisem. the lock will not turn i guess the chain is in the way I wanted it secure so no one would steal my stereo but now I CAN'T OPEN IT either. Is there anything i can do, I'm going to have to change the rear tail lights soon but CAN'T any HELP would be great .

THANK YOU TIM KNIPP

How did you fit your lock in the mechanism?

More info is needed...

climb inside the trunk, pull the trim away from the latch and start prying. my twin bro just had the same problem. had to pry from the inside for a few hours.

there is an opening on each end of the top of the trunk lid i put the chain through the opening now the lock wont turn ?

where the lock is there is enough space for the chain to go through .

i cant even get in to the trunk it a convertable + the stereo box is in the way man what did i get myself into.

This is still confusing for me, i dunno about you guys....

You are telling us that there are two holes in the top of the trunk deck lid and you ran a chain through them? How exactly were you sure that you got the chain through the lock-loop?

I think you just might be doing this wrong...

Wait, you put a chain like over your quarter panels underneath the deck lid and out the other side?? or did you drill holes around loop a chain underneath? whaaaa? any photos bro because I'm (we're) baffled

i tore the plastic panel off the bottom part of the trunk and there was a bracket below the lock i went around the metal bracket then up to the space behind the lock on the trunk lid i put the chain through that space

so you think it closed on the wire and got stuck??

i guess so i dont know ?

i did go behind the lock itself ? maybe i jammed the space for the lock to turn to open ?

SO, um, unlock the chain and pull it out, then unlock the trunk.

the trunk is closed and locked the chain is in the way of the lock opening i think

Yea try that or just somehow get in behind the seats and cut the wire with some pliers and yank up the trunk to pull the wire through?

and there is only one way into the trunk through the trunk lid ?

You put the padlock INSIDE the trunk? OH SNAP.

You're screwed. Sorry.

Best way I know of to get into the trunk that way is to bash in your taillight and stick your arm in through that way then. You will have to get another taillight.

ohhhh mannn look what i did i cant go that way just yet ill leave the post up for a cupple of days and see what happens thank you very much

Why not? Tail lights are cheap! Just get one from the classified section here on NICO and then go about the removal when you have it in your hands. Stock taillights are cheap.
