The trunk release cable runs along the inside edge of the car, under the carpet, on the driver side. It then snakes up over the metal under the rear seat, and then into the trunk, running along the trunk hinge/arm, driver's side.

-------> Before you do all of that, unbolt the latch handle and see if the plastic tab on the latch that holds the cable is broken; the cable release wires rarely fail, I replace handle assemblies regularly, never a cable. Maybe you just need a handle assby. Feel free to comment back if you need more assistance; Thanks for choosing FixYa.

Hi Do you have a bleed valve on or around radiator / radiator pipes. if yes the undo the valve and leave the car running till it bleed. once its bleed, you will have full circulation of the water and both pipes will heat up also the fan will come on. If no bleed valve then undo the water bottle or metal cap. start the car up and leave it running till the fan kicks in. it will only kick in when the system is bled and no more air in the system. Thanks

Get a glass company to do it. They have all the tools, adhesives and the glass.

Fuses have 2 states. One is closed, meaning the fuse will pass electricity the other is open which means electricity will not pass through it. There is no in between. A fluctuating fuel gauge can be caused by a bad sensor in the tank or a bad chassis ground.

most modern engines are interference designed. keeps the engine profile smaller for fitment in the engine bay. I have successfully straightened valves on a 2.7 V6 honda engine that snapped the cambelt. Just revved the heck out of it once the new belt was on. All ok afterwards. Did you shut down as soon as the belt jumped the cog ?
