I closed my trunk the other day and now it won't open. Turning the key in the trunk, keyless fob, pulling the release in the trunk (accessed from the seat behind the driver), flipping the switch by the fuel door switch. From what I'm reading on the internet, if it's just a broken plastic piece I should still hear the actuator, and whenever any of the aforementioned actions are taken I hear no noise from the actuator for the trunk latch. Trying the switch or keyless while sitting in the driver seat I can hear the relay clicking over in the dash. Did my actuator go out?

If you go inside the trunk and look you should be able to pop it open and get a better idea of why it is not opening

Check the fuses of course. Also. the wire that runs to the actuator likes to break where it runs by the hinge. Look there. :wink:
