Trunk Opening Problem

[Topster]

Today, on my 2016 Genny with 12200 miles on the clock, trunk would not open when I walked up with my fob. Usually opens with no problem. Opened door and hit trunk release button and nothing happens. Try a couple of times with no luck. Used "key" to open trunk and then checked trunk fuses, 2 of them in fuse panel located in right rear of trunk. They tested ok with meter.Everything else works fine. Doors open, lock etc etc. Car starts remotely with no problem. Seems trunk will not open with fob or the dash trunk release button. Is this a dealer visit problem or is it something easy that I am missing.

Possibly the "valet" button in the glove compartment?

I just did that to myself after stuffing too much stuff in the glove compartment and inadvertently pushing the button. When the trunk later refused to open, I suspected a valet lockout and checked the manual to locate the button. Other controls that accidentally get pushed are the mirror folding settings, the rear HVAC thumbwheels, and occasionally the parking proximity sensor.

I think there is a way to reset the trunk in the manual.

Works ok now. Found that stupid button in glove box. Must have hit it with one of the Hyundia books etc etc. Thanks for all the replies.

So you can lock the glove box and trunk if you use a valet. You proved it works.
