The remote on my saturn stopped working today, its not the battery. Both of my locks have been punched out from people breaking into my car so POP A LOCK is a no go. There is a small latch in the back of my trunk that opens the back seat, I have been working to get it open to no avail,is there some secret to opening it? My only other option is to break one of the small back windows or call a tow truck,both I would rather avoid.

Let's work on getting your remote working again you said the battery is good?If so pop the remote apart remove the circuit board from the case and the button's turn the board over to see the contact's where the button's press againist it.Take a tissue and clean all the black stuff off all the contact's then clean the black stuff off the button contact's that touch the board.That will usually get the remote working.
