So the button works and it feelsike the key grabs but it doesn't turn and no amount of pressure seems to make a difference . I had it open and then closed a few days ago and then it decided to be picky. I've scene one post talking about a stuck button but that doesnt apply to me. Pushing and pulling on the trunk to alleviate pressure doesnt work.
Ideas?

Re: 1979 trunk stuck
Try your Spare Ignition Key if you have one, lube with graphite powder if not. The Valet Key won’t open the trunk. Possibly it’s the central locking module.. Is the system operational on drvrs, pass doors & fuel flap?

Hey! So I got it open. And have lubed with graphite powder. A lot of this car seems to be learning it's ticks. I'm gonna mark this as solved. Thanks for the reply. :)
