1. I presume your button on the dash (which opens the trunk) is not working. You could take that button out of the dash panel and manually activate the circuit by using the wires themselves.
2. If the "valet" key doesn't fit the trunk lock, see if the keys are visible through the center back seat access 'hole', make a wire hook attached to a broom handle, etc. and try to catch the ring the key is on. If the view is blocked by other things you can't move, figure out at way to move things in the trunk so you can get something to reach the key(s). Do you have other metal keys on the same keyring? If so, use a magnet to grab the whole set.
3. Have you considered taking out the rear seat? Do the bottom seat cushion first, then the back.
4. By now you have hopefully already gotten your keys back out of the trunk, but if not I hope one of these suggestions works. MW

The outer cone is where the problem is, right where the fiber/foam of the cone material attaches to the outside metal frame. if you look closely, you will find the speaker is torn along this line, at least at some point(s). I used ge silicone 2 clear, make a bead all the way around, took about ten minutes, could not be better. Great fix. Also check lexus owners club for more detail.

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.

My 2008 is250 trunk cant open. please assist

Have you tried the "valet switch" in the glove box? This switch is used when you don't want a service person in your glove box OR your trunk - only the physical key will open the trunk or glove box. The trunk opener switch under the dash won't work either if the "valet switch" is activated.
The switch is located at the top of the glove box on my GS350 - yours may be different.

A common mistake is accidently activating this feature when reaching into the glove compartment. Here are the basics on how to use this convenient safety feature.

Where is the fuse for the trunk of a lexus ES350 2011 located in the fuse box

The trunk switch must be combined with some of the other components because it is not listed on the diagrams. If the issue is a fuse, there should be something else that is not working as well.

My trunk won't open. Any ideas how to get it to

Did you try with the key? The keyhole is in the top left corner in the trunk by license plate (opposite to the camera lens).
Also, make sure the valet button in the glove compartment is released (or pressed)

Trunk does not open with button inside car. Does open with key remote. Is there a bad fuse somewhere and if so which one?

Your Valet cancel switch is set.


Open your glovebox and you will see a pushbutton on the the left side, if memory serves. When this button is set, the power button will be disabled, but the key fob button will still work.
This is for when you Valet your car, you push the cancel button in the glovebox, lock the glovebox, then give the Valet your Valet key, which will not open the trunk or the glovebox. Voila, no Valet rummaging through your trunk :)

Often full gloveboxes will be the cause of the button getting pushed accidentally.

Trunk will not open using the button on the door or the key remote. There is no key entry.

Some cars have an over ride switch in the glove box, which allows you to lockout a valet. You simply shut off the switch and lock the glove box and the valet cannot access the trunk without the master key to unlock the glove box. See if you have one that has been shut off by mistake.
