Default Trunk won't open..

Probably should check the fuse box first but haven't had time to do it yet.

Just curious on if anyone else has experienced this problem.. My trunk won't open if I push the button in the car or hold the button on the key.. It will only open if I manually open it with the key from the back.

Anyone have any input? Also where would I find the fuse box that handles the trunk fuse?

Have you checked that you or a passenger hasn't accidentally pressed the valet lockout button in the glovebox? It is by far the most common cause of your issue.

As above KILLA, so many people don't realize it's there a very common complaint at dealership. They are so supprized when you tell them it's that!!!
