I feel I would take the car back and tell them to repair what they messed up. They will likely say they did nothing wrong. Worth a try.

SOURCE: Latch on '96 Maxima will not lock and stay locked

Yes if your lock actuator is not stuck on unlock.Try unpluging the harness to rhe electric lock,and see if it will lock and stay locked using the key.If ti works then your okay.if you still have the problem then your tounge that holds the trunk down needs to be replaced.

How can I release rear seats from trunk? it has fold down seat

Unless you have fold down seats this can be exceedingly difficult if not impossible.
My advice would be to contact your local automotive club or a towing company and pay a very nominal fee to have the door opened.
All the best.

Exterior release for trunk won't open trunk. It only opens with remote.

Remove lining to trunk door and look at the linkage from the exterior release to the lock for damage or missing part

Inside trunk release won't open trunk on 2002 Camry. Lock will not turn with master key. Remote trunk opener will open trunk.

1. Open trunk
2. Place latch in lock position
3. Pull inside trunk release to see what isn't moving
4. If trunk key won't turn, the key may be worn out and need to be replaced

I HAVE A BMW 735i I WANT TO KNOW WERE IS THE TRUNK OPENER?? I COULD NEVER FING IT.

Go to the trunk and put your key in and turn it all the way to the left and remove the key. This way by pushing the button at the trunk it will open, the trunk will lock when your doors are locked and the trunk will unlock when the doors are unlocked allowing the button at the trunk to work at that time. I'm not quite sure if your system works that way, or Try pushing the button that opens the trunk down by the hood release latch, or, you should have a remote key with the trunk open button on it, it should have 3 buttons, one is lock, one is open the car and one is open the trunk, if you have the automatic opening trunk, this should be the same, and to close it, just press the lock button and it should automatically go down again, as you did not specify what year yours is, one of them should do the trick...hope this helps

Need new key, the tip got cut completely off!

Your vehicle comes with two kinds of keys: a master key and a valet key.
The master key fits all the locks on your car:
Ignition
Doors
Trunk
Trunk release handle
Rear seat trunk access

The valet key works only in the ignition and the door locks. You can keep the trunk, trunk release handle and rear seat trunk access locked when you leave your car and valet key at a parking facility.

You should have received a key number plate with your set of keys. You will need this key number if you ever have to get a lost key replaced. Keep the plate stored in a safe place.

When replacing keys, use only Honda-approved key blanks.

There are many hardware stores that have Honda key blanks and can make a key if you have a working one. If not, a Honda dealership can get you a key (expensive) for your vehicle if what is left of your key has the small serial number still on it. Additionally, they might be able to get one based on the VIN number of your car.

Hope this helps you.

Keys lock in trunk alarm will not allow trunk switch to lock

The solution is to pull out the back seat to get into the trunk. There are two bolts holding the bottom part of back seat (bolts located between bottom and top sections). Then pull out bottom section of back seat and you see the hinge for the top section, remove the bolts and then you can lift up and access the trunk. It's not that hard.
