Bonus info: The driver door key lock has extra functionality when the key is turned to unlock:
1) turn = unlock driver door lock,
2) turns = unlock all doors,
3) turns = unlock trunk.
This really helps when the key fob battery is low or not working.
There is a relay in the rear fuse block for the trunk release. marked trunk relay #36. It is marked on the under side of the lid. If you knew how they worked you could open it by jumping pin 30 to pin 87 in fuse box. on the side of the relay is a diagram of what pins are what . This system uses an electronic control module called ( the BCM ) body control module .When you push the inside release button , that sends a signal to the BCM ,then the BCM activates the relay opening the trunk . Well that won't help ,you won't believe where the fuse box is !
Fuse Block - Rear
In the rear compartment, behind the left wheel well. You could jump the wire at the BCM that goes to the relay. Can't you pull down one of the rear seats to gain access ?
SOURCE: Trunk release will not work, but I can open it with my key
inside the trunk near the latch is a switch that kills the trunk remote
SOURCE: trunk lide wont open
Try to apply pressure from the top of the trunk and push short burst while using the key, If this doese not work you can try to enter from the rear seat taking out the bolts for the rear back rest.
SOURCE: trunk release and fuel door release buttons do not work
cable knocked loose and key wouldn't work if it did previously. last option, obtain acess from back passenger seat and pull aux cable or force lock open, as far as the key issue, call a locksmith
SOURCE: keys locked in trunk - trunk release inside car
Older style cars did not always have remote trunk release. Call dealer ask if remote trunk release equipped. Rear seat can be removed but, trunk access is not guarantied. Recommend getting a replacement key made with vin and title.
