Trunk Release not workking
The trunk trunk lid will not open. I have tried the trunk handle, release button on the door, key fob, and the auxiliary key inserted under the trunk lid. There is no resistance on the trunk handle when i pull it. The roof is down. Im guessing its the release assembly. Anything i should try before bringing it in??

Just tried that and yes it works. But that is still the only way it works, not with fob or release on door or just pulled the handle. And when i open it with the key i can hear a hissing coming from the locking mechanism. I am assuming that i will cause severe damage to the car if i try raising the roof in this state. Thanks guys, any additional thoughts?

Find the source of the hissing...sounds like you have an air leak.

Why do you think you will cause damage?
You will not be able to OPEN the roof with a non-functional PSE locking pump.

that's the problem, thank you all.. Hopefully they can repair it without replacing the unit, About $800 for the parts in Canada, Might have to try Eb#y
