I want you to do first thing first, check for blown fuses in the fuse box....2nd, see if the trunk release button is connected or connectors are not loose and and make sure the are snugged all the way in.. 3rd, make sure the button itself is not defective..and last but not least, if the all the past inspection, check for a faulty trunk latch.

Hope this helps.

You need to check the actuator on the latch for power when pushing the release button.

There is a hidden deactivation button in the glove box. Just push it and your problem should be solved.

I have a problem opening my 2000 Toyota Avalon's trunk. I can open the trunk using the button on the dash but not with my FOB. The FOB works for the doors but just not the Trunk.

Have you took your fob in to be tested. They can test it at automotive places , usually free. It will tell if it has power or not then possibly replace the battery. Or may need a new fob all together. Might have to order one from a Toyota dealer.

Toyota avalon trunk release

I suggest getting a helper. While you sit in the vehicle and press the button inside the passenger glove box, ask your friend to lift the trunk. If your friend can open the trunk easily, your torsion bar needs to be replaced. This acts a bit like a spring to push the trunk open when the lock releases it. Another issue could be the lock release has gummed up with dust in the lock grease. You vehicle is 21 years old and grease thickens up with dust and such over the years.

2007 Toyota Avalon, trunk will not open with key fob or button in car, no noise when I press either, have a flat tire and can not get in the trunk

Button inside glove box (on left side) disables trunk opening...just push it again and trunk can be opened...worked for my 2007 Avalon. I must have bunped it by accident to disable the trunk and didn't realize the button existed. Toyota dealer said bring it in for $125 diagnostic but then I saw the cure in the car manual.

Toyota avalon 2006 key fob apparently doesn't work

It looks like you have the "Smart Key" (a small rectangular box) that does not look like a traditional key.
What you also have is a dead battery inside the Smart Key.
Look closely at the box; there is a little button on the side. Press it. This will release a small hidden key. After you remove the small key, use a small flat blade screwdriver to pry the case of the box open at the slot provided. Take the unit to a store that sells miniature batteries, and have it replaced. You will NOT have to reprogram it after the battery is changed. The life span of the miniature batteries is roughly 20 months, less if exposed to RFI, like sitting on a TV, a monitor, or other electrical device. The Smart key TRANSMITS all of the time, even when you do not press the buttons. This is why the battery only lasts 18-20 months. Let me know if this fixes your issue..
