Ok I admit I snickered at those of you who locked your keys in the trunk and didn't know the codes. I'm now cursing those of you who could simply jump the trunk button.

For, you see, I know the code and the code works on the trunk. However... the actuator was broken off it's mount when I bought the car, so all it does is move itself and not the lock. And now my keys "mysteriously" ended up in the trunk before I closed it.

D'OH!

I can't figure out how the rear seat back comes off; there's 2 bolts behind the seat belt? I took the belts out and still can't see them. If I can get the backrest off, I can get a coat hanger in there and fish the keys out.
how do you get the code for trunk, i didn't get an owners manual when i got my car.
There's a sticker on the bottom of the arm that swings up the trunk, and it's also on the keyless computer, one of the 2 that flip up behind the back seat (can't remember which).
i got that one but i can only figure out how to unlock the doors.

There was a recent post about somebody with keys in the trunk going through the back seat but I can't find the post
The bolts that hold the seat in are the bolts holding the seat belts to the car on the left and right sides. Remove the bolts and pull the bottom of the seat towards you and lift the top off the hooks at the same time.
They are the same bolts that hold the seat belts in, AND THEY ARE A MOTHER in NY. I had to cut the straps on mine to get the seat out, as the seatbelt bolts were frozen solid. I heard of using a torch to heat the bolts. But I was changing the seat anyway and the gas tank and my car. I never did get those bolts out! I folded the new straps and tucked them into the old straps that were still on the bolts!! Good Luck. Hope this helped

The keyless entry codes are printed inside the trunk lid and on the keyless entry computer, located in the trunk, left side on the trunk fire wall. Unscrew the panel and let it fall toward you. After you punch in your code to get inside the car, punch 3/4 or 5/6 (can't remember)to open trunk. Pushing 7/8 & 9/0 will lock both doors. You can also make your own code, but it will cost you, haha!
Putting in the 5 digit code unlocks the Driver door only! Hit 3/4 within 3-5 seconds after the main code unlocks the Passenger side of the car, Hitting 5/6 within 3-5 seconds will unlock the trunk.
P.S. About the rear seat straps, I did screw the 2 pieces together after installing the new seat back. You could cut yours in 2, then splice them with a sheet metal piece if you we worried about the seat back flying off.
That's my .08 worth (my Estimate)
Good Luck

Welcome, Jeff. There is a decent Turboford presence in the D/FW area, and I wish I was back there. There are usually a few TCs/XR7s in the Pick-n-Pull on Loop 12.

How much would it cost to tell folks that you enter the original code, press 1/2, then enter the new code?
