Mitsubishi diamante trunk won't unlatch with the key or the electronic door switch. It worked yesterday to put stuff in and when we got back it made a click noise but did not open. After that it would only make an electronic buzz when the door switch was used. Is there a way to get into the trunk otherwise?

I have a 98 and what happened was there is a little lever that says free and lock on the latch of the trunk. I had to take the rear seat out by pulling on 2 latches on the lower seat (where your calves would be), it comes right out. The back part required 3 bolts to come out, you can then remove that. Then there is a panel secured by approx. 12 bolts- hopefully you have nothing in the trunk blocking it because it will need to be pushed into the actual trunk capartment, you might have to push hard because there is carpet on the other side. Once in, I was able to flip the lever up. Takes about an 1 1/2 hr. You will need a 10mm and 12mm sockets and it is recommended you have a 2nd person.
