I have a 2006 GS 300. The trunk will not open with the remote or the dash switch. The glove box switch is in the operate position and the fuse is good. Any suggestions?

 

UM, there is not such thing called GS330? It is GS300 for that 2006 model year. I had same problem over 1 1/2 year ago. You will need to get a trunk release motor replaced under warranty for that problem. There is a TSB for that at the dealership.

 

lol what is a GS330?

 

There's a trunk release motor TSB, and also a junction block TSB out. Basically the fuse panel in the left side of the trunk.

 

jesus. lexus has a tsb on every mechanical component in this car.

every little motor seems to break- mirrors, windows, trunk, etc....

i gotta say, again, that the trunk motor is one of the dumbest things put into this car.

you can't even use anything more than 200x before it breaks. it's gonna be a big headache when the warranty expires. and I plan to drive this for at least 10 years.

 

Had the trunk stop opening on me. Release in the fold out panel didn't work. Try the key in your fob. There's a key hole under the lip next to the normal release button.

 

My suggestion would be to take it in and have the dealership fix it. That would **** me off. I hope you dont have anything of major importance in the trunk

 

well i certainly hope you have extended warranty!

 

Thats not good to hear........the auto trunk is kinda pointless anyways, it doesnt even come all the way up. It just pops......hopefully mine wont die anytime soon

 

that is unlikely. it will eventually fail..... based on all the 2006 models that have parts failing. Merely replacing the part will only lead to another failure several years later.

the trunk release in old cars works pretty much indefinitely. This "automatic" latch provides no other benefits

i do like the car otherwise.


btw... you guys who got the trunk latch replaced-
how much was the warranty work billed for on your invoice??

 

I agree, the auto trunk is just another unnecessary complication.

 

the auto door closer on the LS is pure pimp... i love these features

sorry, i hate people slamming my trunk, this is a perfect function for me

 

not as pimp as the knight rider's fully automatic open and close

if i want a door closer, I want to be a lazy *** and not have to use my hands and arms at all.

with the lexus, you have to use extra effort to close everything lightly before the 'auto' mechanism kicks in.

 

Yeah, they should have made the trunk fully auto, that soft close is useless. They should have put the soft close on the 4 passenger door instead.

 

i agree the soft close on the gs trunk is half-***. i say either make it like the ls, or not do it at all (and rather have soft close on the 4 doors)

there are things on the 3gs i just don't understand
