my trunk doesnt open

my trunk doesnt open
<HR style="COLOR: #cccccc" SIZE=1 itxtvisited="1">hi guys! my trunk is going crazy. it can be opened with the key by putting it on the trunk but cant be open by remote nor the button inside the car. the thing is that when you close the trunk the red light still is on inside the car on the button like sensing the trunk is still open. when you shake some of the wires inside the trunk the light goes out then if you cloes the trunk and tried opening it via the button or the remote the light goes on but the trunk doesnt open.....you have to manually open it with the key.. what could be wrong? thanks

Sounds like the latch needs some adjustment or replacement. Reason: when the trunk is closed the car thinks it is still open because something is not aligned properly. Try the adjustment first.

Folks,

Unable to open trunk via FOB or Switch on dashboard.

I can only open via key, by turning anti clockwise to 10 Oclock and then push to open.

How can I adjust the latch . It was working perfectly ok till I touched and spray WD40 due to hard to close.

Help PLEASE

Speaking in English, the blade key need to come off the tumbler in vertical position for remote operation.

latch adjustment is generally done via the floor plate and the 1" round plastic bumper stops
