  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Haunted Trunk Lid

Hello dear friends! I have a '13 Genesis sedan which has decided to open its trunk lid, all by itself, every now and then. Not always, but far too often. And when it does it runs down my battery. And I'm getting tried of calling AAA. Local dealer replaced latch. No luck. Still haunting me. Suggestions?
 
The related issue of "Windows going up and down on their own" due to water intrusion is a thing.

Remove the driver's door panel and inspect the trunk button switch, plugs, and wiring for for water intrusion. Repair/ replace water protection materials and install drip loop in the wiring harness as needed. A bit of dielectric grease on the plug might not hurt if the pins are in good condition.
