  Q: How do you replace the trunk lid latch and lock cylinder on Nissan Maxima?

  A: To lay your hands on the trunk lid latch; pull open the trunk, use a trim tool to lift the two black tabs which hold the lower part of the trunk lid inner panel popping out the upper part of the latch assembly and slid off the black trim piece covering the latch. It is also convenient to scribe a line around the latch assembly for a reference point to help in the installation. Turnoff the electrical connector then remove the link of the rod that links the catch and the lock cylinder. To do that you have to remove the two retaining bolts and then pull the latch thus disconnecting the linkage rod and then disconnect the electrical connector, remove the two mounting bolts. For the trunk lock cylinder, there is the trim panel within the trunk area, which requires the removal using the trim tool to raise the plastic buttons. Head up toward the trunk through the trunk lid access hole right at the right taillight; to pull out the lock cylinder rod from its peg and the lock's base plate. Remove the linkage rod or the electrical connector if there is any, and also, remove the mounting plate by using your hands, needle-nose pliers, or a screwdriver, depending on its design. Twist the lock in an anti-clock wise direction and pull it up from the trunk, while the putter is the reverse of the remover.
