[W126 Coupe] trunk lock

[Mister McGoo]

K.
 
It's not likely a wiring problem.  Mike is likely giving a possible way of getting the trunk open.  Put some weight on the trunk lid and rapidly push the button in and let it snap out many times.  Does the button actually snap back on its own?  If that fails try lifting the lid gently and do the same.  If the lock is in the twelve o'clock position it should be unlocked, but the horizontal locking pin may have disconnected or stuck for some reason in the secondary locking hole.  (Someone has just included good pictures... can't remember who)  You would be hoping that the pin would rattle back (to the right) to the "unlock" position... suddenly the lid would open.  That's possibility #1.  (there's a couple more)
 
You say the lock won't turn 90 degrees to three o'clock?  That's the "lock" position.
