Probably stuck, WD-40 should do the trick.

The lock mechanism may be loose. Check the two screws behind two plastic tabs inside trunk directly behind keyhole.<br> Good luck!

I just went through this.<br> <br> Open the trunk; look at the inside of the lid.<br> There are two holes, one for each of two <br> mechanisms. You can reset the trunk close<br> with the lower one, and the pop-out handle with<br> the upper one.

If the trunk does not fully close, then it's the hydraulics.

Thanks for all the suggestions, unfortunately no joy. However I managed to get in touch with the brilliant Daniel Gillitzer who sent me detailed info.To cut a long story short I pulled the relevant fuse(think it was number 9) waited 10 secs and replaced it. Presto! Apparently it allows itself to reset after any recent problems.<br> Well worth knowing<br> Thanks Daniel and everybody<br> Regards<br> Clive

Thanks to Daniel Gillitzer from the Turnball post. Pulled the fuse and trunk is fine. Thanks again.

Your problem will return.<br> If the system is oparable after the fuse trick<br> it means that you have a leak in the vacuum system<br> try to find it.

 

[Guest (MBNZ)]

Thanks for that,if the fault returns I will search for a leak<br>

Does this logic apply to the

fuses for the pnuematic door closers? ie: if pulling the fuses for the door closers 'fixes' the problem, does that mean there is a vacumn leak?

140 Trunk

It is usually the vacum pump that also controls the doors and is located above the rear (drivers) side wheel next to the gas tank. Pulling the fuses is a temporary fix the pump is $600 and usually comes back.
