Default My 2010 model 350 trunk does not open

I have a key less car. The fob or the trunk button or the switch by the license plate do not respond. The trunk will not open. HELP

Check the valet lockout switch in the glove box. Maybe somebody pressed it accidentally, or it popped out by itself (I swear mine does that sometimes)

Look in your glove compartment. There is a button that sets the truck to valet mode that keeps it from opening. The idea is if you valet park, you put valuables in the trunk, activate the valet trunk lock, lock the glove compartment with the manual key, take the key with you and give the fob to the valet. You probably hit it by mistake and you wouldn't be the first....trust me.

I remember I had this issue once after taking my car to the dealer, They always put it in valet mode. Just push the button in your glove box to unlock it.
