Re: '04 Coupe Liftgate lock failure

Ok this is how its done my padawans-

remove rear plastic lower panel there will be 1 screw that needs to be removed, that is located where the rear hatch handle is-

slowley pull off the panel , it has 6 clips to hold in place - but comes off nice-

There is a small open area on the Left hand side of the latch (Uper Left)
press down with a flat head screw driver-

you will feel the trunk release and thats it-
However i am still unable to get the device to completly unlock, so when i shut my trunk again it locks, but i was able to get it to open
