Trunk release problem

[frankie12]

Hey guess what another part broke in my 1998 dodge stratus. Here is the problem this time. The trunk release handle next to the driver’s seat won't work anymore. I think it might be a spring because the handle dies not give any force when you pull it up. So my question is there a spring that is broke or disconnected or is there something else wrong with it? Once again thanks for all of the help you members have given me!!!

Yea, i had the same problem before, i checked everything twice over.. turned out to be the most simple problem, somone hit the lock out switch next to the latch. try that before you go all out, like i did

Make sure the stud on the end of the cable is in its proper recess in the trunk latch mechanism. My latch is like that right now - it popped out. I have to use a key to open the trunk but I haven't fixed it yet out of pure laziness.

sorry i kind of forgot i posted my problem here. Is the lock out switch big because i looked and i could not find a lock out button. Where would this button be if my car has one?

it is right where the trunk latches.......it's a switch.

i have the same problem, the switch always moves on me!
