I can't open my trunk with the key or the trunk release button on my 1997 Chevy Monte Carlo

My key goes in the keyhole but it won't turn. The trunk release button is usually what i used to open the trunk but it quit working first. I was able to use my keys to open it for a few days now it doesn't work either. Please help

Might try some graphite lock lube in the keyhole.

SOURCE: Car Chimes in 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo saying trunk open when it's not can it be turned off?

I would check around the area on the trunk for a switch and bypass it rather than unhook it but be careful dome light switch is there too. You can just follow the sound and unplug the chime tho

SOURCE: starter continues turning after I release the key.87 monte carlo

Hi, Check and make sure the starter relay is not sticking. If it is not, then the bendix in the starter is probably bad or not shimmed properly. You can check the starter when you remove it, be careful of the torque. Good Luck to you. Hope this Fixsya!

SOURCE: 2002 monte carlo fuel gauge doesnt work,pump works ok.

It is likely the fuel level sending unit. I had a customer with an 03 Monte Carlo that the pump went out and the fuel gauge hadn't worked in about a year. We replaced the fuel pump module and it took care of both problems. I believe the sending unit is available separately from the complete module.

1997 Chevy Monte Carlo key is stuck in trunk lock

I would try loosening up the key and lock with wd40. Then wiggle the key around a bit and hopefully it will come out. Just be careful not to use enough force to break off the key in the lock.

1997 Chevy Monte Carlo . Key is turned to right to open and is now stuck in hole

There is a great chance that the tumbler pins in the lock cylinder have worn out and are jamming the key. The best thing is to call a lock smith.

97 chevy monte carlo trunk pops open and locks lock and unlock on their own while car is runnning and off

I have a 97 Monte Carlo that has locked me out a number of times. I have never experienced the trunk doing it's own thing. What I have done is simply remove the fuse to the power door locks. I drive it to work and am usually the only rider so no big hassle for passengers.

97 chevy monte carlo\r\nwhere is the fuel pump fuse

Under the hood you will find the fuse. There is also a reset button sometimes in the trunk under right panel or sometimes right out in the open. There is also a relay switch that goes bad on these too. Under the hood i think near the left side toward the fire wall there are three one for the horn one for the fuel and one for ac
