Default Trunk Problems

Anyone have a problem occur where you couldn't open the trunk with the remote, the trunk release in the car, or the button under the lid? If so, how did you resolve? Only way to open mine right now is by using the actual key.

I think there's a button in the glove box. Usually locks the trunk when you valet.

Thanks guys. Must've hit the button when putting things in my glovebox today. Never even occurred to me to check it. Everything works as it should.
