Trunk is no problem with me, but can't find any threads re: fuel door--won't open from under dash. Fuse OK, have to pull handle in trunk... Thanks, HM

I can only confirm that it is not possible to open the trunk with the engine running. In my 95 LS400 this is one of the most irritating thing they have done. Maybe anyone here knows how to 'fix' this.

i have to agree, can't understand why they did this.

i want to drop off some people, they jump out and want to get their luggage, now i have to turn off the engine first so they can open the trunk. ridiculous....
