Hey guys, my problem simply is, my trunk button (interior and the one by the rear plate) does not respond when i push it. Now im reduced to using the key. I've searched for a thread if anyone had this problem, but no dice. i had my 5000 mile maintenance done last week. is there a simple fix like that of the power windows? or do i need to bring it back to the dealer?
any advice is appreciated, thanks for the help!

To the OP, what terms did you search on? In "Search this forum" I tried "trunk lock", "trunk switch" and "trunk won't open" and all three of those brought up plenty of useful threads.

He said that neither the interior nor exterior switch were working. Pretty unlikely that both would fail simultaneously. My money is on the switch in the glovebox.

That is likely, I remember reading about this same issue on a couple of threads in the months past. One member had the dealer tell him the harness was not completely connected from the factory. I guess is can happen during assembly. Sounds like an easy fix. I don't think there is a personalized setting for the trunk unlock? Are you aware of this Bichon? You seem well versed on the dynamics of this vehicle and subsequently illustrate your knowledge in an altruistic fashion in order to advise other CL members.
