Auto Parts: Car Trunk Lock, honda accord, car trunk

Question
I've got a '98 Honda Accord. The trunk lock will not open with the key. It won't turn. This happened once before and then just started working again a month or so later. It will open mechanically with the release on the driver's door side.
Any idea how I can repair this? Thanks.

Answer
doug does your key work in all of the doors ok? If so I would check to make sure the linkage is not broken or binding. If you have the same problem with the doors it sounds like you need a new key. Try just spraying some lock lubricant in it and working it with the trunk open.
