Heyy..

My trunk button doesn't work. I had to replace my trunk latch itself because it was broken, do u think it requires any reprogramming or is it being pathetic itself? Shouldn't it automatically work after the replacement?

When I press it, the trunk doesn't unlatch. I have to use my remote or the button on the driver's side door panel. ANY ADVISE IS MUCH AND GREATLY APPRECIATED!! thank you.

 

PM sent and sorry misunderstood, forgot that the 6.5 has the button (04-06 does not) I'd call the dealer or try to get in there and see if maybe it's disconnected or check the fuses...

 

yikers.. they want $110 for diagnostic only. lol i was trying to troubleshoot thru here. lol. i feel like i want to scream with my car at times!! i will try to check the fuses today. i didn't even know the trunk button existed until i read the dam manual. lol. ugh! WOOOOOSSAAAAAAAAHHH!!

 

Im lost, what other button is there besides the remote and the switch on the drivers side door?

 

the button above the license plate. =)

 

oooooo I have a 06 didnt know 6.5s had another one now I get what J was saying

 

yea.. not very many had 6.5 i was told. hmmmpphhsss!

 

You could just forget it and live like us 04-06 owners!

 

Look in the glove compartment.. there's a button in there for the trunk switch. See if its on or off... then try it again. If that doesnt work then i dont know what to tell yah.

 

nooooo... it's helpful when u have 3 dogs on leashes , ur purse, and ur groceries! haha! that button helps! i can't always get to the remote and it's a hassle to walk to the driver's side door, open and hit hte button! hahahah!


really? thank you! i will look and keep u updated! thanks again!

 

im trunk switch on the driver door stopped poping the trunk open. the problem laid in the BCM unit relay that controlled the trunk....but it only stopped working because I have an aftermarket alarm with trunk pop installed...you can start there;..

 

 

i have the factory alarm crap. it's just the button ont he trunk itself that doesn't work. the one on the driver's side door works. hmmphs!



did it already. no luck.

 

yea it was on. buttonstilldoesn't work. fuses are good.

 

Assuming that you have the stock radio or installed an NIRD-01 with an aftermarket radio. It doesn't say "trunk open" on the drivers information display does it?

The only thing i come up with considering that you just changed the trunk latch is that the switch built into the trunk latch is faulty. Both the button on the drivers door and keyfob will cycle the trunk solenoid when the trunk is open but the request button on the trunk lid will not if it thinks the trunk is already open. But this would also make the drivers information display that the trunk is open and turn on the trunk light.

If the factory radio has been replaced without installing the NIRD-01 the display will be blank. Fold the rear seat down and look to see if the trunk light is on. If its on then the problem is a faulty switch in the new trunk latch. There is no worry about the light draining the battery its on the same battery saver circuit as the interior lights.

 

i will test it tonite!!! i wanna kick it already. everything's factory. i haven't touched it.. at least yet. im thinking of a faulty switch! hmphs! thank you for the advice. i will keep u updated.

 

If the stock radio is still in then the drivers information display would be saying the trunk is open. Did you do anything down by the bumper? Thats where the antenna is for the intelligent key.

 

Why did you have to replace the trunk latch in the first place? And why don't you pull it back out, and make sure all the connections are made. It would seem as though the button was just never reconnected, or it's a bad button and needs to be replaced. Since everything else seems to be working correctly, that's got to be the location of the problem.

 

didn't touch the bumper. hmmm.. i will have to look into that. ANTENNA HERE I COME!

the latch became loose after the plastic housing broke by slamming the trunk down. it became unaligned and we jsut replaced the whole latch. so it must be a connection to the trunk itself. intereesting. i will also look into that. thanks everyone. i will keep u updated!
