Sometimes the little trunk release at left of the driver's seat acuates the trunk and sometimes it does not open so we have to use the key? Thank you I drive a 2003 4WD XTERRA..My wife occasionally drives the 1995 Prestine CONTOUR.

Maybe it will work for you though... If you find that the Cable adjustment is the trick let me know....
