check to make sure your switch isn't stuck for the automatic trunk opener...sometimes switch will stick.

if you look closely at the lock mechanism itself, there is a little black tipped movable arm there on the lock....there is a possiblity that is stuck....check it out, if thats the problem it need some lube.

how did this happen? I mean, one day it just stopped working? Did you jar the trunk too hard or anything? Nothing blocking the lock from engaging to the bottom lock or anything?

Mine is the exact opposite! I can't open my trunk by using it's switch. I have to literally get out of the car and use another spare keys to open my trunk.
