My '90 240SX SE is somewhat the same, when i pull the trunk latch from my driver seat it rarely pops the trunk open, and when i put my key in the keyhole i have to jiggle it around until it turns. Once the trunk is open lately it wont stay up :( Any ideas?

thanks.

both of my hatches wont pop themselves open, its a turn the key and lift operation. But your key isnt even turning so somethings jammed or stuck in there. If its like my hood it just needs some WD40 every now and then to pop open.

I did get my grey one to pop open after i put 10"subs in the back. The boxes are just barely tall enough to put some pressure on the hatch and that pops it open. It used to be such a pain.
