I feel stupid asking this because I know theres a simple answer. I have a 94 honda accord ex coupe, my trunk won't open no matter what. Now theres a keyhole above the seats so Im guessing a key is required, but I don't have the key. Anybody have a solution?

 

well, if you dont have the key. Look in the trunk and should be a green tab to pull. This is the release lever while pulling this push the seat forward. Now should be open. Hope this helps

 

You use the ignition key to release the seat back latch.

 

x2. You will find that the ignition key can only be inserted partially into the seat back latch keyhole but that is just the way the system has been designed.

 

guys, he said he doesn't have the key. look for the small plastic pull tab. I think my 94's is black and it's kinda under the third brake light

 

If the trunk won't open he's not going to be able to get to that tab to fold the rear seats.............................

You don't have the ignition key for this car? You say that your trunk won't open but the title is back seat trouble.... Is it just your back seat that you can't open or the trunk lid?

If he doesn't have the ignition key and his trunk doesn't open. There is no way for him to get too the pull tab that is located inside the trunk.

The only way to get into your trunk without a key if the trunk release isn't working is to break something or go to the dealership and have a key cut. I would imagine that the VIN and proof of owner ship is probably required.

At least in my area, it's around $15 to have a new key cut on the spot provided you have proof of ownership.

 

Durrrr... my bad. i was thinking his only trouble was the seat, but it's obvious now.

yeah, you need a key man, especially if you want to drive it. If your inside pull won't do it, MAYBE it came off the handle. You might be able to remove the cover and pull the cable manually.

 

As I understood it the OP thinks a special key is needed for the seat back latch, other than the ignition key.

(anxiously awaiting the jury's verdict )

 

That's the way I understood it as I read it, but I suppose I shouldn't have made an assumption.

 

that's so simple, I didn't even think of it.

All you do is insert the ignition/door/trunk key in the key hole and turn it while pulling the seat forward. also, if you have the door key, that works for the trunk too.
