My trunk button inside the car doesnt work. I have to do it with the key button all the time. Not sure if this has to do with it but i have remote #2 that came with the car when i bought it. the first remote got crushed by a dumb bell. If thats the case how do u activate the remote so it does everything its suppose to do.

 

When did your trunk button stop working?

Your trunk solenoid is still functional, as you've said you can still pop the trunk with the keyfob (while the car is OFF). Your trunk button not working has NOTHING to do with your first keyfob being ... crushed.

Pull down the lower dash panel (panel beneath the steering wheel) .. this is the one that has the trunk button on it. You can see behind the button is a white or black plug that has two pins in it. You can disconnect the plug, and either using a circuit tester or a piece of solid core (not braided) 12 or 14 gauge wire (like phone wire) complete the circuit (i.e. put one end in one slot and the other in the other slot) and see if the trunk pops. If it does, then your button is defective and the wiring to the BECU (body electronic control unit) is fine.

If it does not pop, then perhaps there's something further wrong at the BECU level.

lemme know

 

It sounds like the security measure to keep people with the valet key from getting into the trunk contents. Try flipping the trunk switch in the glove compartment to the other position.

 

^^^ sounds complicated. but ill try thanks for feedback

 

LOL! of course... forgot about that... yeahp, check the glovebox... switch is on the left i believe...
