Cool Interior trunk release not working help.

Guys I cant open my trunk from the inside by pulling on the **** next to te gas cover release. I can open with key or using the open trunk button on the key but cant get it to open from inside. What do you think is the problem?

I'm not sure if the GS has this feature, but my ES has a trunk disable button in the glove compartment, so when the button is pressed, the trunk open button (located on the driver's side) won't work. This security feature is useful when valet workers park your car. Anyway, check if your GS has this trunk disable button.

Yeah, that's my suggestion as well.

Here's a thread with a similar problem and pics of the valet lock

Thanks, it was the valet lock I opened it with the master key and the trunk opens now. I should of checked that first, probably pressed it by accident.
