Hey 6gc, my trunk won't open. I think it's missing a spring type part that resets the lever. If I manually pull the lever back, I can get it to open. If you have the opportunity could you attach a photo of the trunk latch, cables, and all release mechanisms on the trunk? It's a 94 gt.

Huh, if your cable snapped that could be quite a challenge... Some time ago I was replacing the hood latch and I forgot to attach the cable to the hood release, real pain in the ass.

My best guess is that you try to get to the trunk latch through the back seats. You'll need to get that rear plastic panel off, hopefully it is possible with the trunk closed. Behind that you can see the trunk release mechanism with a lever and cable attached to it, if you pull that you get your trunk to open.

Next step is finding out what's a matter and repairing/replacing the parts. I suggest you find out if there are any celicas at the local junkyards, cheapest way to replace such parts.
