Hey everyone, I am new to this forum and have a question for you. I have a 2003 6 that was bought new. It has just under 50,000 miles on it now, but all of a sudden, the remote trunk release and button on the dash will not open the trunk. You press the buttons and it does not do anything. I was busy at the time and blew it off, using the key to "pop" the trunk. Now, a few days later, the key doesn't even pop the trunk. This is so strange and I have absolutely no idea why this is happening. Anyone out there with a fix?

It's possible for the electric solenoid to come apart. There's a threaded rod that goes thru it, can work it way out then it won't open.
You may be able to repair, the one I had put it back together and ordered new one, of course it was under wty. Becareful when removing the plastic stuff.

First thing to check is to make sure the valet lockout button is not turned on. The button is in the glovebox in the upper left corner. This disables use of the inside release button and remote operation. Also make sure that you are not using the valet key as it will not open the trunk or glovebox lock. If all those are ok a trip to the dealer should be in order.
