Need help with trunk latch 200 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be BudaVol'87 on  Sun Jan 11 11:44 CST 2004 [RELATED]

The trunk latch on my '87 240 DL Sedan is stuck (locked) and I cannot open the trunk. It had stopped working as part of the central locking system recently, but I was still able to lock and unlock it on it's own. Trying to find out what had caused it to stop working as part of the central system, I pulled a small lever on the inside of the trunk lid where the locking mechanism is. Evidently, that caused it to lock for good. I've tried playing around with it by inserting the key while pressing on the trunk lid and also attached a piece of coat hanger to the end of a long bar that I inserted through the ski port hoping to retrack the lever..........but no luck.

Any help appreciated,
Thanks
