Hi there, and welcome to Helpowl, I look forward to assisting you today with your question and providing the best answer possible.

Maybe you should crawl into the trunk and look for an emergency release handle. It would be right above the latch area on the interior of the trunk lid. not all vehicles have it. It's hard to tell what part you need until you get the trunk open. You can look at www.gmpartsdirect.com for diagrams.
