You may need to replace the locking mechanism. It's probably broken and won't allow the trunk to close fully. Take a screw driver and try forcing it down to see if it closes all the way.

If its the power trunk option you can just put a flathead screwdriver in the top of the mechanism and push to the left. It should start to go down. It should run for about 3 or 4 seconds before it stops

Maintenance & Repair
I have a 1989 Camaro RS V6. On my way home from work yesterday I noticed that all my guages are floating the speedometer was bouncing around between 60 and 70 sporadically. The temperature gauge, oil gauge, rpm and gas gauge were all floating around when I slow down they all start coming back down? For just a second I smelt a very strong burning smell (electrical) that very quickly faded. The SES light has been on constant the whole time this is happening. Same thing was happening on the way to work this morning car is running and driving just fine. I guess today when I get home I can check the codes to see what codes I get as a starting point and work my way from there. I will also check the ground wires to see if maybe I am not getting good connection somewhere. Could it be my battery by chance? Maybe even a stripped wire somewhere?Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 4 Answers
