Yeah, check that the lock on the dash below the trunk and gas lid release is not depressed. Very easy to overlook!

Even with the lock pressed in it should still open by the remote though. That just disables the trunk release from inside the car. That's the way mine works but maybe it's different on yours.

I think it's your fuse.

Hahaha thanks dude! I was also wondering why my trunk release doesnt work all of a sudden... somehow the lock was depressed. Cannot believe I overlooked that. Thanks for saving me trouble and time because i was thinking about takin it to the shop!

I have a 1994 LS400, and the trunk lever does not work...I do notice that when I pull it, I can here a click, possible a relay trying to work. Are there any adjustments?
Thank you in advance for any info.
