Trunk Update
I got home last night as the sun was setting, and I decided to use what little light there was to see if I could figure out what was wrong. I spotted a small electrical switch in the latch mechanism. I wondered what it was for, so I flipped it to the other setting. I hit the button on my remote, and the latch opened! I closed the trunk, and hit the button again. The trunk opened! Yay! Was a simple thing. I’m really not sure why there is even a switch for such a thing. I’m not sure why anyone would want to turn this feature off unless they were totally paranoid. Perhaps this is why the seat releases are in the trunk. It allows you to throw valuables into the trunk, flip the switch, and no one can get into the trunk without a key. I suppose this could be useful, but I don’t think I’ll ever use that feature (on purpose.)
