trunk release 99 Camry
I would appreciate any info on how to repair a defective interior
trunk release on my 99 Camry.
On pulling the lever there is no resistance as prior and of course
the lid doesn't pop.
Trunk opens the old fashioned way via the key in lock method.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in Advance

The cable goes back to the mechanism in the trunk lid latch and terminates
in a little metal ball. My cable streched to the point where pulling the
release didn't work any longer. I removed the trunk lid liner, then the two
bolts holding the release and latch mechanism, then clipped a lead fishing
weight the the cable just above the old ball. This took up the slack and now
it works fine.

My thanks for the info--fumble fingers here managed to actually fixed it in
under an hour in 40 degree weather. there was a point there where I was
ready to drive to the dealership but I do figure through sheer stubborness I
saved myself at least $50.
