Default trunk wont open electrically
just a heads up to you guys...theres a TSIB for trunk not opening electrically. gotta replace a junction box. its located behind the dash. in front of your left knee. took me like 15 mins to replace it. then it took me 20 mins trying to find out why it still didnt work....i had to clear the body code lol duh.

Like when you're near the trunk and press that button on the underside? I'm having that problem and I'm going to get it fixed Friday. What's the # of the TSIB?

This might be a dumb question but did you guys check the valet switch in the glove box?

That's not a bad thing, I've been like a vulture swooping in and snatching up bargains lately.

now's the time to buy if you can.
I have lost well over $100K+ from all the recents. God damn ridiculous.
I have some associates that have lost millions and even more.....
But I hope to do some snatching myself shortly.
Great time to get in.....

make sure your doors are unlocked first before trying to open the truck by going around and pressing the button on the trunk(just use the smart key). if you do have this problem then it wont open with the button in the car, on the key FOB, or the button on the trunk itself. the only way to open it, if you have this problem, is with the key shank.

I'm not ready to commit, yet. Cash is still King at this moment. I need to see almost complete market capitulation before I jump in w/both feet - perhaps Dow 7500 ???

Sorry for OT, back to our regular programming . . .
