Trunk Release Issue please help

I can't get the trunk release switch to work in my car. I have tried to toggle the switch in the glovebox from on to off but still no luck. The other issue I am having is when I press the lock switch the acutators make a noise but none of the doors actually lock.

Has anyone ever had these types of problems before, that they could make some suggestions.

Thanks

I just checked and the lock and remote switches will only unlock the doors but not lock them. I wonder if this has anything to do with the trunk release. I also checked the fuses and they seem to be good.

i have the same problem. i think while i was removing my center console i might have accidently disconnected the trunk release.

the only good thing about this is that if a theif breaks into your car he cant open the trunk from the inside

Apparently this didn't get answered but I just got the problem. My issue is slightly different however, no door lock troubles.

The trunk button doesn't do anything or make any noise.
I just recently got a new remote and the trunk release does not work on that either.

I checked the Valet thing on "on" and "off" and no change.

I have two possible solutions,
1 - The solenoid in the trunk that pops it is busted
2 - The valet button is broken and may be permenantly stuck on "on" not allowing me to pop it.

Let me know if anyone has run into and fixed this problem. Thanks!
