Greetings,
My 1997 SL2's trunk will only open from the outside using the key. Any ideas as to the cause of this problem or what needs to be fixed/replaced. Key fob locks and unlocks the door locks just fine.

Trunk lid will not open using key fob remote or driver's release

Try opening up your key fob and cleaning the contacts at the trunk button.
See if there is a little red switch on the latch inside the trunk. Saturn put the switch in to make it harder to steal stuff from the trunk....a security feature. With it engaged, the key fob and remote releases do no work. If there is one, just flip it to the other setting and things should work again.

No, DON'T "wash" it. Clean it with a dry cloth, or dry-cleaning solvent, or a pencil eraser. But don't wash it.
