I definitely checked to make sure I didn’t have it locked….it’s definitely not locked. Had 2 other people check as well to make sure I’m not that slow 😂 still not working. Any other suggestions? I can hear the click when the gas tank opens. No click or sound for the trunk. Locked and unlocked the lock button to make sure I wasn’t doing it wrong.
installed new struts. No after market alarms or upgrades like that. Trunks unlocks with key.

laylow,
Let me put my two cents in the pot. I had the same problem after I got my 300 out of the body shop. The button between the gas filler door release and the trunk button release had gotten pushed in , not locked while there at the body shop. I was flustered and felt that the mechanism had failed and then I purchased another one off of e bay and then I found the button pushed in. DUMB Best of luck.

I checked to make sure it wasn’t pushed in. It’s not pushed in. The button is out. The trunk opened anbout 4 times intermittently when I held the lil pull button. But now it will not work at all
a neighbor a few doors down owns a ls and took a look and tried and he could not figure it out either and was surprised the button was out and nothing was locked as he for sure though that was the issue as well 😂 guess I’ll have to keep checking options 😫

Laylow,
One last thing that I can think of is you have an electrical switch on the back side of that button which could have gone bad. Again good luck to you.

do you by chance know the part number or name of this switch? I feel like I’m not able to find the right part doing a google search 🤦🏻♀️

Hey Laylow,
Here is what I found and didn't find :
The unit I was talking about is not a serviceable item, (Switch Assembly, Luggage Door Opening which has the two switches for the trunk and gas filler with the two switches on the back side) My '92 - '93 Parts Book does list this assembly in three different colors.
I would be searching the junk yards if it was me.
Good luck,
Bill
