It should just have a slide clip that holds it in.
take the starter off and take it to an auto parts store and have them check it.
by opening it using the keys
Need to know what the vehicle is.
TO GET INTO THE TRUNK OF A 89 MAXIMA YOU MUST TAKE THE BACK SEAT OUT AND CLIMB IN AN MANUALLY RELEASE THE LOCK.
With a key. Take the back seat out and reach through and either take the bolts out that hold the lock in or some newer cars have an emergency release in the trunk so that you can not be car jacked and put in the trunk.
Doesn't it have a key lock also?, if not you will have to take the back seat out and crawl through and open it from the inside, there should be a handle on the lock on the inside of the trunk that you can pull and it will open.
There are a few options. If the trunk and door locks take the same key, take one of the door locks out and take it to a good locksmith. They can cut you a new one. You can also drill out the lock, using a progressively larger bit until the lock bar can be taken out. You can pry, rip and pull the lock out....at the same time probably destroying the trunk lid. The only other option I can tell you, is to remove the back seat. If you're lucky, there will be enough room for you to crawl into the trunk area enough to reach the lock mechanism so that you can remove it and open the trunk.
Easy take of the black cover with a hammer, Break out the tail lamp assembly and cut out the lock
With the lock mechanism missing, look into the hole where the lock should be. Take a flat screw driver and insert it into the slot near the back of the lock hole and twist.
no. you should unsrew your license plate and take your rear cover off which is supported by two swews and carefully pry your cover off then you will c your key lock bolts takes those out there should be four! push you lock as if you are pushing it inside your trunk and you will c a trunk release rod so from there you just pull up on it then pop you are a lock smith..... take care
The key number used to be the same as on the glove box lock and you can take the glove box lock apart and find out the key number OR you can take the rear seat out and with a couple of loooong extensions and a ratchet and socket, remove the striker in the trunk. Lots of luck
Take out one of the key barrels - from either doors or trunk lid and you should find it on the lock cylinder itself.
