Usually the trunk lock mechanism draws enough voltage that it will have it's own Fuse. I would check that first before anything else. Most ALL my experience has found that the Fuse was burnt (an acceptable occurrence) usually from being harder to release from age and a need for some Lithium grease on the mechanism on the trunk assembly. I would check all the mechanical and electrical (Fuse) in the car before giving up and taking it to a shop. Many times, it can be fixed easily and more cheap than what you might think. Hope this helps.

Posotive can be found in hood driver side next to fuse box. It is a small rectangle box. You can hook negative to any solid ground on the car.

SOURCE: 2003 saturn ion-release does not work for trunk release

If only the trunk release is not working, did you check to see if the little lever arm switch on the trunk lid at the latch assembly is switched to enable the release? Mine came switched to the 'Off' position when I bought it and it took me a few days to figure that one out.

SOURCE: TRUNK WONT OPEN WITH TRUNK RELEASE BUTTON ON DASH OR WITH REMOTE

Check for broken wires running from the body to the trunk lid through the rubber boot.When the trunk is closing you can see the kink in the rubber boot.There are 11 wires to supply 1 solenoid so I think Chrysler knew there was problem.

My 2003 Saturn Ion remote trunk release won't

Check to make sure the button on the trunk latch is turned from manual unlock...they made that feature so only the key will work to open the trunk that way if someone breaks in the front of your car they can't hit the trunk release and get into the trunk...may be the same thing for your remote. Hope that helps.
