2008 E350 4matic - truck does not open with FOB remote.
Another day when my battery was dead and I had to open the trunk with manual key to jump start my car, after changing the battery, everything started working like normal with FOB except the trunk. After locking car with remote, trunk does not open with FOB or with the switch on the driver side door. I need to unlock the trunk with the manual key and while it is in UNLOCKED position, trunk opens with remote and also with the switch on the door.
Weird thing is, when I lock the truck with that manual key, remote stops working again. Some people suggested to check the harness going with the trunk arm but I could not find any breakage and also my 3rd brake light is working properly.
Any suggestion please?
Thanks JD

I think you might have disabled the trunk from opening by locking it with the key. Don't lock it with the key. It might be in the manual somewhere, probably an antitheft thing for a valet.
