OK.

Are you sure the latching mechanism is being released?

Insure that opener lever inside the car has returned to its down position?

Are you pushing the valet switch the "open" way?

Insure that you are pulling the emergency rip cord the proper way?

OK, now that you are sure the latch is releasing, I suggest the following:

* have someone push and hold the trunk button the FOB, while you are aggressively pushing down and pulling up on the trunk lid.

* if that don't work have someone hold the button down, while you crawl into the trunk space and pound "up" in the trunk lid from the inside.

Iffen none of that works, either break out a crowbar or take it into a shop.

Let us know when you get it open -
