Default '92 - Trunk pop not popping?

I can still open the trunk w/ a key, but the button on the drivers door doesn't have any effect. Any ideas what it might be, how to test?

Open your trunk manually, and press the button with the trunk open. If it doesn't function, the solenoid could be out.

Open your dashboard glovebox, theres a button that says trunk opener. Press it on and off to turn off the trunk popper by your front seat.

That's strange. The trunk button on the newer ES's always worked whether the ignition was on or off. Maybe the '92 ES's were supposed to work that way???

I checked the button in the glovebox, and it was switched off. It then worked for 2 weeks, but now doesn't work again. Now though, the button is set correctly (actually doesn't work no matter what position I've got it in.

Fuse?
