solar is an unknown quantity at this point
Not to sound like a smartass here, but when you lock the trunk lever next to the drivers seat, it locks the lever next to the seat, not the trunk itself. Do what gearhead said and try turning the lock next to the drivers seat the other way.

The locking mechanism for the trunk/gas latch isn't very good. Mine got jammed too, I was only able to open the trunk from the outside, but the gas lever was fine. Even when it was in Lock or unlocked it still didn't work.

just take it apart and clean/jiggle the pieces around. the cover pries off and then there's a screw.
