2000 Ls trunk won't open

the electric trunk latch does not work, at all. i find no keyhole. how can i open the trunk? i'm baffled. can anyone help please?

The keyhole is between the license plate and passenger tail light, right above the mercury logo. Did you try unlocking the truck switch with your key ?

on the 2000 LS, the lights wrap from fender to fender. the merc logo is above the license plate. no keyhole ????
any other ideas??
thanks,

I have a 99 and the rear is almost the same, BUT there is a key hole. Look at your MGM Logo/Badge and scan, at the same level, to your right. There will be an indentation in the rear reflector a little to the right of center between the logo and the beginning of the tail light. I admit it is hard to see if you are close to the car. Try squatting down so the area is at eye level and I am sure you will see it.

ahhh, now i see. someone thoughtfully bashed out that lens, and removed the lock cylinder. that explains the round hole i took for a missing lamp holder.
more fun in store.
thanks for all the replies, i'm going to train a gerbil.
