Wow crazy I just had the exact same problem today when I realsed my trunk to get my laundry out. It didnt open I still hear the pop but nothing happens. It really pisses me off. Im not too sure how to fix it. If you do post what you did.

 

I had the exact same thing happen to me this week. It better be covered by warranty, but highly doubt that it is.

 

Doubt it is. Besides i just hit 58k so my warrenty is way over. Piece of chat trunk release.

 

I feel a bit dumb now, I figured out why my trunk release wont open. Go open the trunk with the key, on the trunk itself where the release latch is it will be pulled up, all you have to do is pull down on it and it will click and bling bling money it worked.

 

Yeah I'm pretty sure there's a little switch on the inside of the latch which disables the remote trunk release..... kind of like the switches that lock the back seats up.

WOW.. I am SOOOO happy that you saved me the embarassment of having to take it to the dealership. They would've grilled me good :lol: I was planning on enquiring next time I was in for an oil change.

I didn't think it made sense that the latch could already be broken after only 10 months.

Thanks again

I didn't say wireless, I said remote, as in not at the location. No Mz3's have wireless trunk release from the factory (like the Mz6), I'm talking about the lever next to the driver's seat which 'remotely' opens the trunk. Like the 'remote' fuel door release, meaning not at the fuel door.

Even so there's a switch on the inside of the trunk latch which disables the lever so that you can only get into it via the key.

 

My bad my bad! ya what he said.

 

Thanks man i thought it was aaaall messed up!

 

Glad I found this thread. Little green latch fixed the problem.
