trunk wont open

[obadwash]

I have a 95 maxima and the trunk was working fine. One day i went to the store and bought some stuff and i place it in the trunk....now the trunk wont open. It makes the click sound when i use the remote or trunk release button inside the car. I even tried with my key and still got no luck.....can SOMEONE help me and tell me what to do.

Like i said it just happened randomly.....and need to get it to work!!

Try having someone push down on the truck lid while you open it.

As a last resort, if you can get it to open, you can remove the rear seatback ( just 4 bolts) and the divider panel and crawl in with a flashlight to manually release the latch.

One possibility is that you've accidentally flipped the switch on the trunk latch that disables the electronic release. In that case it will still make the release noise but won't actually open the trunk. But since your key isn't working either I don't think that's what's wrong here. Worth a check, though, once you get it open.

Does your key turn in the lock?
