Hopefully, your car was not vandalized or broken into. Or, hopefully your last kidnap victim found a way to destroy your trunk lock needs.
How to Replace Your Trunk Lock Cylinder
Armed with just two trunk lock cylinders. Here's how to do it:
* Detach the two battery terminals with the crescent wrench.
* Pop open the trunk.
* If you have an electronic lock, disconnect its pin connector. This connector is inserted behind the lock and can be pulled out easily.
* Take one crescent wrench to grasp the threaded lock post and the other to take out the retaining nut by rotating the nut in a counterclockwise direction.
* Now the old lock can be removed through the hole revealed in the trunk.
* Install the new lock through the hole.
* One wrench to screw in the retaining nut this time.
* If the lock is electronic, the lock connector should be plugged into it.
* Once again, use a crescent wrench to reconnect the battery terminals by turning the retaining bolts in a clockwise direction.
