R230 remote trunk switch malfunction
When I use this switch inside the car, it pops open the trunk and then immediately the close assist actuates before I can get out of the car....
I can manually open the trunk and the close assist works to then help close/lock the trunk.
Any opinions as to what may be wrong....
I have pulled Fuse 71 for this switch and reinserted.....short in the switch or trunk latch mechanism?

Thanks for that great input........in the winter when it was cold the struts didn't work very well and the trunk closed at times without me closing it, but when it got to summer and the heat they worked much better, almost 100%, so I think that is it also.....they must worn.....

I'll have to take a close look at the struts - glad to hear it's now working fine for you.l
