trunk won't fully open
Most recently, when i press the trunk open, it will go to 45 degrees open and not the full 90 degrees. I then have to open the trunk fully by hand. It does close on it's own well and seals shut nicely after pushing the trunk close button.
Any ideas, did a quick search, but found most issues with vacuum seal closing. tia

You have reset the sensing mechanism to stop full motion of the trunk. Its a feature of the trunk system. I believe to reset for full motion, open the trunk using the trunk opening switch in the car, but continue to hold the switch in the open position for 5 or more seconds after the hood stalls. To reset to the "half open" position, hold the switch closed for 5 seconds after the trunk is closed.
