remote trunk opening
Need the experts AGAIN !!
I had my entire car interior and trunk taken apart... full dynamat...trunk, rear seat, floor pans .. all of the sudden the trunk wont open via the key fob, then it wont via the switch in the center...tried everything , nothing will open it AND the small red light inside the interior trunk opener switch is off... mind you the door locks work just fine, lock /unlock... just no trunk. I finally disconnected the negative on the battery, few minutes, reconnected it ... VOILA, trunk opens, ( still no red light on the switch ) .. close the trunk, locked the car.. now it doesnt work again... it doesnt want to work till I disconnect the (-) and reconnect..( reset something ) ...once I close it and lock the car, the trunk wont open again, my questions :
- Any ideas as to what on earth is going on ?
- Does the center switch for the trunk have a bulb in it that maybe burned out? can it be replaced ?or switch gone bad? but even w/o that switch , the trunk wont open except with the mechanical key.
Any ideas /help are greatly welcomed and appreciated. Best regards, Max
