You want t take your dash a part just where the latches are. Unplug wires going to latches use multivolt to measure which one is ground wich has voltage. If you take groun wire from trunk latch and ground it should open the trunk. Did you check fuses

- As some may know, I only have the valet key (for now - ordering a real key Monday) and the key override for the trunk was locked, so I couldn't open the trunk. I disassembled the lower part of the driver's side dash where the trunk release is, and was able to get to the back of the assembly. The trunk release has two connectors going to it - a 2-wire connector from the main harness, and another 2-wire connector from the lock that's next to the trunk release. Unplugged the main harness connector, jumpered it briefly with a short piece of wire, and voila'! The trunk popped . Looking at the lock, there's a bright metal band around it - remove the band (it just clips on) and you'll see a black "button" that was hidden by the band. Press the button down, and the lock will pop back to the unlocked position. Now I can get into the trunk when I want to!
another issue...how do you jump the wire from the main harness connector? which wire is the ground and which is the positive...sorry for the nub question, not very experienced with wiring...
