Sounds like a fuse is bad for that circuit..check and replace if bad..in an emergency to gain acess to the trunk, remove the back seat by taking the base out first then the back of it..remove the noisebarrier(fiberboard or batting) and the trunk is accessible by a smaller person who can trip the lock from inside manually..good luck and reposr please..

if you here a clicking sound when you push the remote or the drivers button then the solenoid and fuse are probably o.k. lubricate the trunk lid catch and operate the latch a few times, also check the tension on the trunk itself , it should lift up part of the way by itself, if not 1. lubricate the hinges and move trunk lid up and down. if still bad 2. if it has a tension rod adjust the rod to a stronger setting if it has gas shocks, 3.replace shocks. if no click and fuse is good solenoid may be bad

Hi,
First you have to take out the one and only screw in the rear
hatch door - it's where the hand pull down is you use to close the
hatch.
Then you have to pop all the plastic clips all the way
around the plastic door panel, trying not to pull them out from the
frame . If you do pull out the white plastic plugs from the frame you
better make certain you take them off the plastic housing and insert
them back into their frame holes - or you will never get the housing
back on.
Once you have the housing loose disconnect the inside
tail gate light wire to remove the whole thing. Then you have to remove
7 to 8 nuts from the back of entire License plate, back up bulb housing
using a deep socket to get in there. Work it loose from the rear of the
car and it will come out just enough to work on the lights.
This is tricky since the screw mounts don't give you much room to work with.
Once you have the license plate and back up bulb frame loose you will see the two housings for the license plate bulbs on top.
Slide out the license plate bulb lens and twist the bulb connection to remove the bulbs.
Replace both of them - you don't want to do this again in a month when the other one blows.
OPTIONAL:
Once you take out the bulbs you might see that
the housing is melted where the bulb wanted to burn through. Drill two
small holes one is each end of the housing before I put everything back
together to release some of the heat.
Reverse the whole process to put everything back together. It's not easy.
Make sure you insert the cables through the opening for the hatch handle or it will kink and not work properly.
The bulbs come in a two pack of cost $4.95 .
Take care

Check fuse.. Test for power to trunk release solenoid. When door button, or remote trunk release button is pushed. If there is power ( use a 12 volt test light ) most probably faulty release . Hope this helps

use your key to open the trunk. Then look at the on and off switch located on inside the trunk latch. Make sure it is in the unlock position.
