Hey everyone my 3rd brake light stopped working and my trunk won't open with the remote or the button in the center console. The only way for me to open the trunk is with the key. Checked the fuses and doesn't seem to be the problem. Im guessing it's the wiring? Any help would be great! Thanks everyone.

 

I thought trunk release was electronic and not wire?

 

it is electronic..I'm guessing a wire could be pinched or lose? I'm not receiving any power to the trunk so I guess that's why the 3rd brake light isn't working since.

 

So, how would the electrons get to the actuator with a . . . . . . . wire.

But you're right, it is not cable actuated.

 

I checked the voltage going to the trunk and its only reading a .01. I checked my friends trunk and it was reading 5. I don't know where to start to diagnose the problem. And no there is no indicator light on my dash. I checked all the fuses inside the cabin and in the engine bay and they are all good.

this happened to me...i got the car with the trunk popper working just fine, but was surprised that the trunk light is not working but didnt bother me..one day my trunk release stopped working and came to find out that the wires were cut for some reason..once connected and fixed my trunk release worked and the trunk light finally worked as well...check the wires man..for some reason mine was getting pulled so i extended them to fix the problem

 

awesome! thanks a lot guys! found the problem..3 wires were cut! don't know how it happened, but I'm glad to have a working trunk and brake light now

 

I was too late

Wires break right where the trunks pivots the wires. Fixed 2 cars already.
