My trunk wont open

Hello,

It sounds like the weather stripping could be glued (stuck) to the trunk lid try to hit the button and lift the trunk lid up to release the seal. Also try pushing down on the trunk lid while opening becasue the stuckier could need adjustment here are diagrams below to show you what's going on. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Ca check fuse and relay in junction block in car there should be a button in car to open it as well. If your seat folds down in rear there should be a strap by the window to pull to gain entry to trunk. The only cable in there is the one for emergency inside trunk

Sounds like the trapalert system, here's the tech bulliten on the system.
