I have a 2007 ES350 and my trunk decided to stay shut today, right when I arrived at work with stuff in the trunk....

The keyfob doesn't work, the button on the trunk doesn't work and the button inside the car doesn't work.

There is no clicking sound, it doesn't seem to be moving the switch.

I can open the trunk using a long stick and pulling the emergency lever.

I have checked the valet and that is not the problem.

I have disconnected the battery multiple times. Apart from losing all my settings this did not help the trunk issue.

I pulled the fusebox and don't see a "trunk release" fuse. I see a fuel OPN but no trunk.....

My fuel door works fine.

I am going to check every fuse after I get off work, but I figured I would see if anyone has had this issue before?

 

here are a few svc manual pages which might help

if i had to guess id say your glovebox valet button is somehow stuck in valet posn

 

There is another manual trunk release pull at the top of the hole you put your skis and hockey stick thru. That's a bit easier then fishing for the emergency lever.
