How difficult is it ro replace the trunk cable in a 1998 camry? The trunk is stuck shut and I was told the cable snapped. Thanks!
With a key or from the inside.
To open a trunk when there is no key and the cable release is broken, it is necessary to remove the back part of the rear seat. In some vehicles there is a small part of the bench seat back that will pull down to access the trunk.
Have a helper pull the release handle while you look at the release mechanism. This will tell you if the cable is broken or if the problem is in the trunk mechanism.
dealers can do it - they have a way to get in from the engine compartment but won't share how it is done :(
Look in the trunk- there ought to be an emergency release- you might have to pull the trunk's liner back a bit to access this cable with a tab attached to it.
Release cable in trunk up against firewall in rear
The hood release cable snakes into the cabin of the car through the firewall. To replace the cable remove the old wire. Zip tie the new cable to the old one and pull it out. This will easily snake the new cable into place. Install the new cable on the release and lever.

The trunk release on my car is operated via a cable that runs from the lever next to the driver seat to the latch on the door. If your car has a similar setup, you could disable it by cutting the cable, but this would be a permanent solution. If your trunk release operates electrically, or if you want to be able to re-enable it at a later time, you should consult with a mechanic.
I f you can get in the car pull down back seats crawl into the trunk and pull the emergency release cable then check solenoid that releases trunk lock
there is a cable that runs from the trunk release lever to the latch inside the trunk. you should be able to disconnect it from the latch inside the trunk
