How do you open the trunk on a 1992 roadmaster when key working and have power trunk?

If the key isn't working and the power trunk release isn't working on your 1992 Roadmaster, you'll need to access the trunk manually. Here's how:

* Check the interior trunk release: Sometimes, the cable from the interior release lever can disconnect or become jammed. Try carefully feeling around inside the car near the release lever to see if you can manipulate the cable directly.

* Access through the rear seats (if applicable): Some Roadmasters might have a pass-through from the rear seats to the trunk. Check to see if this is possible in your model.

* Manual Trunk Release: Most 1992 Roadmasters should have a small access panel under the rear seat or in the trunk area (it might require removing trim). This panel gives access to the trunk latch mechanism and allows you to manually release it using a tool like a long screwdriver or coat hanger to manipulate the latch. This is the most likely method of success. You'll need to find where this panel is located and how to operate the mechanism. A repair manual for a 1992 Buick Roadmaster will be extremely helpful in identifying this panel's location and how to use it.

* Professional Help: If you can't find the manual release and are uncomfortable attempting any of these methods, call a locksmith or roadside assistance. They have the tools and experience to open the trunk without causing damage.

Important Note: Before attempting any of these methods, especially if you're unsure of what you're doing, consult a repair manual specific to your 1992 Buick Roadmaster. This will provide diagrams and instructions to avoid damaging your vehicle. There are many online resources that can provide information or help you locate a service manual.
