My trunk will not open via Key FOB or trunk button and the emergency hatch release is blocked by my subwoofer enclosure. when I press the button or Key fob it does not even make a sound, basically does nothing. Does anyone know a fix for this? I tried replacing the fuse to no avail.

 

nope.

youll have to move your woofer box man.
that emergency latch and the electric one are all that there is.

 

Regardless of whether i can open it manually or not, I still need to have the electric mechanism fixed. Anyone had this problem or any suggestion as to what it could be? I called the dealer and they said it may be the "relay" but I don't know what that is.

 

Theres a relay block by the battery, a fuse box behind the battery, and fuses and relays in the kick panel.

 

It's more likely that it's a bad actuator than a bad relay. Either way, it's easy to check your relays. Just do a youtube search on how to test a relay and if you don't think you can handle it, take it to a shop. Seriously, next to putting air in your tires, testing a relay is about as easy as it gets.

 

Theres a relay for the hatch. check the owners manual on the relays location.
