Yep by the driver's seat is where I sprayed. Actually I did do the trunck latch area too.

If I don't manually push the lever back down then trunk will not latch...not sure if that is what you have happening too.

On my '95 the release works fine, pull lever up and let go and it goes right back down. On my '96 its like cable is gummed up somewhere or lever itself is gummed up.

If I don't get any other ideas here it looked like might get better access to lever and that end of cable by taking off the plastic piece by bottom of door opening.
