break into trunk
My trunk lock is so stuck that if I turn the key any harder it will break.
Anyone know how to break into the trunk?

Try having someone push down on the trunk while you turn the key. Had this happen to mine when I crammed it too full.

Also, when you get it open, lubricate the latch plates and post slightly. This is generally the main cause of the problem, and a tightly adjusted latch post to make the trunk pop better, or a too full trunk, makes things worse. If you haven't installed a trunk popper spring, do so. It will make your life easier by far.

+1 Once you get the trunk open, if you have to adjust the latching pin, remove the trim cover over the coolant tank and fuse box. That will allow you to see the pin fitting into the latch to get the adjustment just right and it will allow you to operate the latch by hand while making the adjustment.

Just decided it was time to move onto other things.

I finally got into where the cable was and disconnected it from the zip ties of other wires. Makes it easier if this happens again to give it a pull.
