Guys,
Is there any other way to open the trunk if both trunk release on the door and remote don't work? I couldn't open it this morning and am very sure that the trunk main switch not been touched since the day one I own this car.
I even open it Sunday night; but not working now. Please help!!!!

so u tried the control switch that is in the dash? maybe its possible that your trunk is jammed cuz of the weather,
press the trunk release on the control and then try to lift the trunk after checking the dash for the switch

Reach through the passthrough and pull the manual release.

This feature is used if ur battery dies and ur remote and main switch can't work.

I checked the main switch in the glove box and it wasn't touched.
Well... I then checked with my co-worker's CL-S to locate the emergency trunk release and finally found mine and open it. For some reason, my trunk won't open with release on the door or with the remote.
An appointment already made with an Acura dealer. Hopefully it coverd by the warranty.

My trunk release went out this week. Worked in the morning then just all of a sudden stopped working at noon.
Called the dealer and made an appointment for next Friday. Still covered under warranty. Thank God!

I was thinking the other day what would happen if the trunk release switch and my remote didn't work, how I would open the trunk. Then this morning I got a scare whenI couldn't open the trunk to get my ice scraper. Ended up it was just frozen shut. I'm sure the dealer would fix it without too many questions.

That cable is for your gas door...the trunk release is on the back end of the trunk lid (the glow in the dark lever)...unless you've got some gorilla arms you aren't reaching it from the ski pass.

well in my car your arms would only have to be about 3" long, cause the release is about 2" up dead center of the pass through

Kinda funny how they make the handle glow in the dark thinking that the possibility exists for people to lock THEMSELVES or GET THEMSELVES locked in trunks. Id like to read the original tech bulletin on this: "We need to make it easier for people to get themselves out of their trunks so a modification ....."

If the car companies can spend the extra 5 dollars and save a SINGLE life by implementing this device, then I'll be more than happy to pay it.
It also eliminates the possibility of you getting kidnapped and locked in the trunk of your own car.
