Dodge shadow trunk latch

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Television and Video category.

Normally you remove the back seat back, and pull the emergency release. Or a mobile locksmith can get in. If the lock is worn, any similar shape key may work with some jiggling. Also look in the glove box for a release button.

I just found this in your Owner Manual for Cutlass Supreme

Remote Trunk Release (OPTION) Press the yellow trunk release button located under the instrument panel on the driver's side. Your automatic transaxle must be in P (Park). Remember that your trunk can be opened at any time using the lock release. Be sure to lock your doors

and also access into the back.

Trunk Access Panel If you have split rear seats, you may have a trunk access panel for storing long objects like skis. Pull your rear armrest down using the strap. Then pull the latch on the trunk access panel towards you to open the panel. To close the access panel lift the latch.

I'm not sure what you're definition of trunk latch is so let's cover all the bases.

The trunk latch mechanism is inside the trunk well. When you open the truck lid, look down, right in the middle of the back lip that you would have to lift things over to put them in the trunk. The latch mechanism is right there in the middle. While you are looking in the location, look just to the left as you are standing behind the vehicle, and you will see a handle kind of like the pull handle on the end of the cord for your walk behind mower. That is a glow in the dark, emergency pull release for the trunk latch. If you or a child ever got caught in the trunk for some reason, you can pull that handle to manually operate the trunk latch to allow you to open the trunk lid.

On your key FOB, you have a trunk release button as well. If you push that button twice within 5 seconds, the trunk latch will release. You also have a trunk release button to the left of the steering wheel. It's a round button with a picture of a car with an open trunk lid. You can push that to open the trunk lid as well. To use the button inside the car, or the one on the key FOB, the car must have the transmission in park. It will not release the trunk latch if the vehicle is in gear.

hit it with some PB blaster soak it good and loosen it up...be good as new

check your deck lid release lever or trunk release button power supply inside your glove box . the trunk should open up with no problem. you may test it by hot wiring it if you have to,

Look at the latch on the trunk lid. Sometimes they close. Put your key in it and open it, as you do this take a screwdriver or pen and pull the latch open.

If there are no restrictions in the trunk ,try to turn key to release already trunk latch. may need to put screwdriver in latch to help release. sometimes when you shut trunk latch will go to locking position and all you need to do is open latch with the key

may can take grill out to get latch or go under it get some thing to pull latch their no other way . maybe can pull cable but where did it break at inside car or at latch if can get to cable w/visegrips pull it

This car should be equipped with a trunk closing motor. If they wear out they will not pull the trunk firmly closed. If you have a standard latch or other you can try to adjust it by 1) open trunk 2) loosen the two bolts that hold the latch to the trunk lid and moving the latch just slightly higher and retightening the bolts. A couple of tries should do it. Thanks for asking at Fixya.com.
