Do you have keyless entry ?
The remote keyless entry system performs the following functions:
• Locking the vehicle doors
• Unlocking the vehicle doors
• Opening the rear compartment lid

Rear Compartment Lid Release Circuit Description
The BCM receives a signal via Class II from the PCM indicating the position of the transaxle range switch. When you press the release button on the RKE transmitter, a signal is sent from the remote control door lock receiver through circuit 377 to the BCM. Then, the BCM sends a ground signal through circuit 253 to the rear compartment lid release relay. The relay receives power from the DOOR LOCKS fuse. When the relay receives the ground from the BCM, the relay's internal switch closes sending B+ (via circuit 56) to the rear compartment lid lock release actuator. A ground is always supplied to the actuator through circuit 350. When B+ is received at the actuator through circuit 56, the rear compartment lid releases.

You could jumper pins at the rear compartment lid release relay , this would open it .

SOURCE: 98 buick century, no trunk release and locked keys

I have a 97 centry and I locked the keys in the trunk and I had to remove the whole back seat. there are little black tabs on the bottom part that you have to pull out to remove the bottom section. once the bottom is off you will then see two nuts with washers (about 11mm) size undo those and then you will be able to lift the back rest up and take it off, there are some hooks on the top part of the back rest. you will then see some black coating and you will then have to decide if you want to destroy it to get into the back or not i was fortunate enough that i could just stick my hand back in there to retrieve the keys. once you get the keys just do every thing backwards to restore the back seat. good luck!

If you have rear seats that fold down you can access the latch mechanism from the left side rear seat....if you are flexible. pull the corner of the seat forward to allow your arm to slide in behind. about 14-16" in, feeling up inside the trunk you can feel 3 quarter size holes in the sheet metal. The second hole has the cable release arm. stick your finger up there are pull towards you. this will release the seat allowing it to fold down. Crawl into the trunk. there is a glow in the dark release handle on the inside of the trunk lid to open the trunk. Note, these are instructions for an '04 corolla but I think it should work

Is there a trunk release for a 98 buick century?

I have seen it in the bottom of the pilot seat on the right side. It's a yellow button you can see when you open the door. Some versions does not have any but still you can open the trunk with the remote control. Good luck!! EJ Kudelka

IS THERE ANY TO GET THE TRUNK OPEN FROM THE COCKPIT OF THE CAR.KEYS AND REMOTE ARE LOCKED IN TRUNK

Remove back of back seat. You can get the keys then, or there should be a trunk lid release at the lock.

If you can't get into the car because it's locked, you'll need a Slim-Jim like device to get the door open.

I've locked my trunks keys in the trunk. The car is a 1988 Buick Century. Is there a hidden latch to open the trunk, or do I have to find a locksmith?

You should have a trunk release inside your car. It will either be somewhere along the side of the driver's seat, or it will be along the bottom of the dash. If not, your seats may fold down so you can access the trunk
