PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Lock, Unlock, and Panic work on my keyless entry, but the blue Trunk button wont pop the trunk open.
I can open the trunk with a key, and with the lever by the driver's seat. But nothing happens when I press the button on my keyless entry pad. It used to be that even if the trunk was already open, you'd hear the latch release when you pressed the keyless entry button, but now nothing happens at all. I have to manually release the trunk with the lever by the drivers seat.
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS TAKEN:
I completely cleaned my keyless entry remote. Took it apart, cleaned the contacts, changed batteries, the works.
THEORY AND QUESTIONS:
I assume the receiver in the car is still working since the keyless remote still locks/unlocks doors and sends the car into panic mode when I press the panic button. However, I don't know how this system works from there.
I also assume there must be some electric "popping" device installed at or near the trunk latch that releases the trunk when the keyless receiver receives the right code from my remote. Maybe that "popping" device is the culprit?
Any other idea's or troubleshooting steps I should try?
