My warranty just expired of course (51,000) miles and my trunk will not open with the key or with the trunk open button. It stopped working all of a sudden. When I open the trunk with the back-up key and then close the trunk, the auto-seal still works, so I'm wondering if it may be some sort of electronic problem. Any ideas or should i just take it in? Would restarting/reseting the car's computer help at all?

Have you checked the trunk override button in the glove box?

No, I have not. Thank you for the idea. Is that what the button does?

JRandall

Yup, it happens to me from time to time.

It had happened to me a few times. Check the glove box and see if someone had pressed the button. It should work........

You know at 51K I'm pretty sure Lexus would throw you a bone. Have you tried?

Bet you a Starbucks its the glove box override button. No worries, we all seem to do that.

i did that in my legend, i made sure in the gs i never hit that switch ever again, had me dazzled for weeks why my trunk would not open (i thought i broke it from listening to all that bass i had in that car)

In the glove box. Open it up and you'll see a button on the left side inside.

This shouldn't prevent the key from working. It only prevents the button from working electronically inside the car. You wouldn't leave the key with the valet or they would open the glove box and this would defeat the purpose of locking out the trunk.

You have a bigger problem if you truly are not able to open your trunk with your Key, not you key fob to be clear.

i was at work earlier i could not check. But i was talking about both buttons , one in the car and one on the key fob. I pressed the button inside, thanks . I think something pressed up against it in my glove compartment
