don't know is it the right forum to post this question or not....
i just got my car used like a month, the problem is my trunk cannot open with the remote or the button inside the car. the only way to open it is to use the key....does anybody know what happen to it and how can i fix it? my friend checked it for me and said the lock is working fine so it should be some other problem. plx help...

 

Is the "trunk open" icon on the dash working when you open the trunk with the key?

 

when i open the trunk and then turn the key on, yes, the light is on.

 

both the remote and the button inside the console operate an electrical soloniod next to the trunk lock that opens the lock (the key operates the lock directly) Sounds like there's an electrical problem either in that circuit or in the soloniod itself---not sure how to troubleshoot it though---if you don't get many responses here, may want to try the Electronics Forum--maybe someone who hangs out there can help
good luck

 

Maybe the battery in the remote is going bad. Holding the button for a second or two might stress it.

Does the button in the console work if the ignition is turned on?
