2007 LE - Trunk Release Latch Not Working?

[Omer]

Anyone know what's wrong? The trunk release latch at the bottom to the left of the driver's side is not opening the trunk?

The key fob still opens it so the trunk lock/release is functioning correctly.

Anyone have the same problem and/or know how to fix it?

Thanks

Is the key hole horizontal?

Have an Owners Manual? Read it?

you locked your trunk. Put the key in it and turn it to the vertical possession

I thought I read in the manual of my '09 that the trunk release on the key wouldn't work when you have the trunk lock cylinder in the valet position. Haven't tested this yet though and the car isn't here to check the manual again.
NJerald? You are the expert here.

Wrong...better bone up on your reading or thinking.

My key lock has always been horizontal so that if the car is broken into, the trunk isn't accessible with the lever release.

I only do it IF I have something of value in the trunk. They can have the spare and trunk mat most of the time since that's all that's there. What do you keep in there?
Your sense of HUMOR?

It actually depends on the model that you have. On models with the Smartkey, if you have the lock cylinder in "valet position", the only way to open the trunk is with the actual mechanical key. The button on the keyfob and the sensor pad/switch itself will not open the trunk.
