2001 LS430 Trunk problem
Hi guys I bought 2001 LS430 done 158 miles and seems good working conditions
i have two issues i hope some one can help
Trunk release working good but remote control button does not respond i tried to use the lock under the driver knee but no any hope
can any body find a solution or is there a fuse that control the opening trunk
Navigation is working but the maps seem old how i can update the maps which version i can buy
wondering if any of you guys had similar problems
Thanks

Congrats on the purchase.
Have you tried different keys?
I'm assuming the remote locks/unlocks the car?
You might have a faulty locking/unlocking sensor in the back. That sensors needs to feel you're close to it so that it can process opening the trunk. It's located in the right behind the rear bumper cover.

I tried other buttons it does lock and unlock the doors and if you keep holding the unlock it will open all the windows and the sun roof too
and for the trunk actuator it works fine also i can find a small micro switch behind the bumper it is working
i think it is fuse issue but i dont know where and which one is it

You can test your Key FOB at most AutoZone Stores...
It's not a simple press the button on the key and the trunk will open like the doors, you have to hold the trunk button down for a few seconds....
Had the same issue when I got my LS, took me a few days to figure it out..
