Default Is there a way to reset the trunk lock?

I was just wondering if there was a way to reset the trunk lock to a certain key. My key opens everything but the trunk, and it is pissing me off. I do have a trunk release in the passenger compartment, but until I get an alarm I would like to disconnect it so my sub and amp dont go bye bye.

Hmm, the only reason I can think of that the key works on all but the trunk is that the trunk latch was replaced for one reason or another. I dont think there is any way to get the key matched.. You may be able to hire a locksmith to make a key for it but I am not exactly sure. Other than that, I would go look for a lock with a key at the junk yard!

Your car was probably broken into previously and a new lock cylinder was put in its place. Happened to mine.

Or maybe yours is locked up, but I have yet to come across one that isn't unfreezeable.

Good Luck

You could have the car rekeyed so that one key opens everything.
