With a "top not secure" error in the BCM, the trunk solenoid will almost certainly not operate. Might be able to do it with a high level OBD diagnostic tool to get around the TNS error. Not sure. Getting that backseat keyslot to turn is probably the best solution. Not sure if the cable for the trunk latch is accessible if the back seat cushion is removed, but that's easy enough to find out. The control module is accessible from the back seat, so one could probably jumper the wiring and get it sorted.

I have enough of the key to turn with pliers. How much rotation is required is my biggest question due to that it is turning. I just don’t know if I didn’t turn enough before the break or I turned to much causing the break.
