need help, trunk problem!!!
 

Hey so I can't open my trunk with the FOB or the button in the car? The key and the emergency latch work fine... what should I be looking for? Fuse? Wiring?

Thanks for any help!

Open trunk. Left side of trunk is a small button. Push that button-omar

Thanks brother, worked!!!

I'm sure we'll all hit this button at some point. It's good to know about it.

I don't know why this isn't a sticky...seems like a new post is started about this every few months

yea I always have something in the trunk that slides and presses it...

someone should fab a little cover for it...

Mine is disconnected at the pigtail.

@Guff. Can we get this sticky'd please??

I had my switch disconnected when I was fixing tail light leak and it acted like the button was pressed, I had to reconnect the button and leave it hanging (trunk panel was removed) just to keep normal access to the trunk.

Can you not just jump the connection with a paper clip to close the circuit and wrap a slice of electrical tape around it? (This is how Jeep guys fix the door control lockout button when it fails.)

Press button to lock?? Then disconnect

I am sure you can short/jump it, I just found it strange that it worked for OmarYasin but It worked the opposite for me.
I think most of the sensor inputs are normally closed on this car, and the buttons open them. I unplugged my drivers seat belt sensor planning to jump it so it wouldn't ding at me every time I start the car (to let the idle settle) before I fasten my seat belt, and just by unplugging it, it thinks the seat belt is always fastened. Got the same thing on the trunk switch, unplugged it, and it thought it was always pushed, and the same thing on my door switch, unhooked it to cancel the window indexing, and now it thinks the door is always closed, instead of always open.

but back on topic, a small piece of sheet metal, or even cardboard folded into a shallow open top box should slide over the button and fit flush with the panel to keep the button from being pressed by accident.. I've had it happen a few times to me too.

What I did is activate the switch then disconnect and it worked for me

It's probably a momentary switch with a code stored in the security module?
