Trunk won't pop open
 

The trunk of my FR-S no longer opens electronically which means I have to use the key to open it manually from the back. :thumbdown: It's quite a hassle since I would have to turn off my car to open the trunk if I was dropping someone off and they had stuff in my trunk. It doesn't open from the key or from the button on the driver's side. I'm assuming this is an electrical malfunction. Has this happened to anyone else before? I'm probably going to bring it into the dealership sometime soon to get it checked out.

Hit the little override button in the left side of the trunk area. It disables the front button and the Remote Trunk button as well.

EDIT: At least, there is one in the BRZ... I don't know for sure about the FR-S.

Did you hit the trunk deactivation button on the driver's side interior of the trunk by accident? It's used so that when you valet the car no one can open the trunk without the mechanical key.

This Button in the trunk

Thanks for the help, I'll check it out after class. Didn't know this button existed.

Sorry. . have to do it. RTFM!! =P

Seriously though, there is some good information in the owner's manual, just read through it when you get a chance.

The trunk remote cancel toggle button is at the perfect height for a sixpack of beer in bottles to fall on its side and a bottle on the top to slide out and tap the button.

The key slot is non-obvious, tucked up horizontally on the underside of the little ledge above the license plate. It's even more non-obvious when you've got a brand new FR-S and beer in the trunk and you can't get the trunk open.

I didn't either until I had some groceries bump it. After unlocking it with my key and moving the groceries I saw the button. Such an odd location to put it imo.

This button exists on the FR-S; check the driver's side of your trunk and you should see a little button on the wall of the trunk as shown in the picture above.
I found it when I was putting some things in the trunk and noticed the button. Boggled the hell out of me why you'd want to cancel the remote feature until someone explained it for me.

Happened to me. I didn't realize there was a key hole on the trunk lid until after I popped the trunk open by folding down the rear seats and crawling/reaching for the emergency trunk release.

i just thought of something... what happens with the brz limited that doesn't have a key? If you hit that button by accident, how would you get the trunk open?

Had the same thing happen to me till i noticed the small button, derp herp i was going to take it to the dealer over the weekend.

Ive never had a car with a button like that so i guess it was unexpected.

I think you can lower the rear seats from the back seat, then you struggle and fight your way through whatever you have in the trunk :P
