I had this happen to me the other day. Key would still open the trunk directly, but placing lock in "central lock" mode would not open trunk. A couple days later my door locks stop working too. So, at least in my case, there appears to be a vacuum leak. Perhaps a slow leak is causing a similar problem here.
Oddly enough, some how the filler door appears stuck in "unlocked" mode. Even just before the door locks stopped working. I think I really need to find someone that has a proper vacuum hose diagram, because I think I have an issue :) EdB On Mon, Sep 19, 2011 at 7:56 PM, Fmiser <fmi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > relng...@aol.com wrote: > > > > ...The trunk would not open, and the key slot was > > > horizontal... > > > > > Horizontal being the locked position.
