If you can get into the trunk, unhook the rod from the latch and/or
push the rod to unlatch the lock. Where are you located? Call me.-Bob 839-4281

try using the key and turning kinda hard while either lifting or pushing down on the trunk. my 98 teg had the kind of trunk with a latch that u had to push even after unlocking it, kinda like a hood. it stopped working one day and thats how i opened it.

Lock and Unlock the car by using the key fob, Then try unlatching it.

If that doesn't work, Try using the key and pulling up of the lid.

If that doesn't work and you have access to the trunk through the seats.....Try to gently pull the plastic cover away from the body it's clipped to, Like senior honda said...unhook the rod from the latch and/or
push the rod to unlatch the lock.

If that doesn't work.....Take it to Acura and have them work it out.

I had this problem with my '99 Teg and had to take it to the dealer.
They opened it and fixed the problem for under $40 (a clip broke and needed it replaced).
