I have a 96 seville that has my keys locked in the trunk. My trunk lock is shaved and there is no button for the trunk release inside the car so i can power the release. The only way to open my trunk is with the transmitter, but its inside the trunk. Anybody know the color and where i can find the wire to pop my trunk? Please Help Maxxed Out

great reference...But again it directs me to a BLACK/ white (+) at the relay which is in the trunk. Is there a way i can get to a wire under the dash, by the door sill, or at the RKE maybe?

Remove the rear seat. There is no wire inside the car. The RKE is in the trunk.

If you have the bolts out of it then it should slide up an come out, normaly.

Hope you got your trunk open. I would suggest adding a momentary button in middle console to trigger the trunk. I know you don't want to hear that right now. I know your situation lock cylinders were froze up on a truck I had, remote got smashed there I sat with 4 fingers showing, it sucked......good luck.

thanks for the tip ctrylvr79...the keys are out and i realized i could have tapped into the BLACK/ white(+) trigger wire on the driver side corner of the back seat without having to take it out. better safe than sorry...once again thanks Maxxed Outt

Good to know you got the keys out. Same thing happened to me a couple weeks back now there's a switch inside the car to pop the trunk just in case. :)

I'm a GM fan and have owned several Cadillacs.
Most Cadillacs made in the last 20 years or so have had a power trunk as standard equipment, excluding a few of the base-level rear wheel drive full-size models.
Your Seville didn't have a trunk release button, either above the radio, or in the glove box?

This vehicle needs a trunk monkey. I recommend that you install one immediately.

Trunk monkey!!!!!!!!!
But yeah, you could have jumped the wire coming from the alarm to pop the trunk.

What happened to the truck release button that should be either under the dash at the steering column or in the glove box?

The car didn't have an aftermarket alarm and it seems like the buttom never existed. Anybody out there with a caddy that never had a trunk release button on it? Maybe they added the RKE at a later time. A trunk monkey?....Thats what i'm tryin to keep out by shaving the lock. Maxxed OUtt
