    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.

This used to work for me when the car is locked and my fob in pocket. i just press the trunk release and presto the trunk opens. For some reason it doesn't work anymore. Clues anyone before I take it in to have it looked at? Tried both fobs no go. I have a 2010 4.6 w Tech.

TIA
 
Does it beep when you lock it with the keyfob? Trunk switch might be bad.

I have noticed this as well. From what I can tell, if the car is running the fob will not release the trunk as a safety feature. You don't want to accidentally bump or push the trunk release while the fob is in your pocket. I have found that the fob works to release the trunk when the car is not running. Check it out and see if this is the case...
 
Checked the button in the glove compartment and it is off. In either position the hood trunk release doesn't work. When using the fob to lock the car it does make sound. The driver and passenger side lock/unlock still works fine via the fob however the trunk release is not working. I guess will have dealer check it out.
