Trunk latching mechanism.

[christdeyoung]

I've had my GTR for about 3 years or so now, and I haven't yet figured out how the latching mechanism works. Sometimes it opens from the cabin, but MOST times I have to get out with the key, and jiggle it in the lock for it to click open.
My GTR key must be a bit worn or something because the key that I cut for a spare (cut from the original) tends to work better on the trunk.
I know about the valet lock or whatever it is, and it seems to happen more often than not, regardless of how light the trunk was closed. (I Always fairy my doors/trunk closed...slamming doors is a pet peeve of mine)
So am I missing something here or is this just the way of the road?

On the inside of your trunk wall where the catch is there is a little switch that you can lift up and down! This is there to prevent access from the passenger compartment and as well as to prevent entry from use of the valet key!

Hmm I wonder if this is the reason why my trunk is locked and wont open for shiiiit. Even when I pull the leaver and have someone pull up on the trunk it will not budge. I will try this! Thanks!

have you tried lubricating the moving parts,there should be some product that you can squirt in the actual lock cylinder

bellis lol how long has it been locked??

So is that like a normal lock in that down would be considered locked and up is unlocked (and openable from the cabin)...I don't think mine seems to care what position it's in.
