Trunk Lock Problems (no keys)

smiller9121 · Nov 17, 2011

just bought a 93 LX trunk mustang and did not get a key to open the trunk (or doors, but they are unlocked, and i know how to replace those cylinders). i took out the piece under the lid that holds the cylinder in, and it still will not come out. i am a 250 lb guy, and cant fit through the tiny hole behind the back seat. how do i get the trunk open so i can remove and replace the cylinder?

not to sound like a smartass but... Get a friend that can fit back there and have him pop the trunk

A good locksmith more than likely can make you a key

If I'm not mistaken, Ford puts the key code on the drivers side door lock. Pull the drivers side door lock and take to your local Ford dealer. Using the code on the lock, they can make you a new key.

My understanding is that Ford doesn't make keys for cars over 10 years old. A locksmith could key it up, ASSUMING that it is still the same after all these years and it hasn't been replaced with another lock.

I agree with 90LXcoupe, get someone in there to pop it for you.

thanks guys, i just got my son to crawl in there and pop it. realized that there are 2 pieces that hold the lock in on this one. my last fox was a hatch, and it only had 1. another quick question. does anyone know how much a 93 would be worth. it has a 331 stroker, built AOD trans with TCI Street Fighter TC and has been dynoed at 515 HP and 600 Ft lbs of torque. has new paint, new headliner, visors, tires, wheels, eibach springs and B&M Shifter. Only 4k miles on motor and trans, and only 2-1/8th mile passes at 6.78 and 6.81

Did your son ever make it out of the trunk?

My 90 has a button in the glovebox that opens it. If you have one also, w/o keys, you could have run a hot wire from the battery to the wire feeding the button in the glovebox ... that would've worked if you have such a button. But, your Son was probably quicker! ;-)))

lol, yes, he made it out just fine. i had to put a big light in there though, because he is terrified of the dark.
