Trunk My trunk has started poping open without being triggered boy my key. What can I do about this?

  • Anonymous Oct 15, 2008

    If this is happening, don't use your keyless remote. I think something is sticking with the electronic components in the lock. Use your key and you won't have the issue. (that's a band-aid)

Sounds like the cable for the emergency release handle on the trunk cover is binding. Seen a few where the cable isn't passed in the right spot and the moment is shifts the trunk opens because the cable has too much tension. Also seen broken emergency grab handle just a little broken that will do the same because the cable is not in the right position. Usually a defective latch you will have problems closing it too.

Valet key will not open door or trunk

not sure about the door... but a valet key is just that. it should allow a 'valet', person other than you, to drive your car without having access to any storage areas. therefore you can lock valuables in the trunk. the system should also disable any electronic trunk switches with that key in the ignition.

Soft top BMW is not going up or down light is flashing the trunk doesn't open without key

It sounds like there is a faulty sensor, as your trunk is not opening without the key I would suggest its your trunk/boot sensor.
As a safety feature the cars roof will not move if the trunk/boot is open.

make sure that you have the holder for the top in the trunk in position correctly and that the 'nubs' on each side of the plastic have triggered the switch on the right side when in position
