trunk not popping

well, my trunk will not open! man its a pain having to pop the trunk with the manual pull between the back seat everytime i need to get in my trunk. I checked the fuses but it seems every fuse is good. I have no clue to what it is, but im guessing its not the switch because my keyless entry remote doesnt open it either. any suggestions, or has anyone else had this prob?

I would try to find the motor/switch and maybe disconnect it and test it with a multimeter. Might be the switch/motor or a break in the wire.

Like all cars, wires run up the trunk to the lid via along the hinge. well when you constantly open the trunk, the bending of the wires will sometimes break them. happened to mm mom's camry. I'd test with a multimeter.

There's also a trunk lock button in the glove box, make sure that's not on, or the connection to it isn't busted

its most likely the motor but make sure the harness is plugged into the motor. OP said that his trunk doesnt work with the keyless or the button so its not the switch in the glove compartment.
