I have 2005 Camry. The trunk will not open with any key, remote key fob, release next to seat or even crawling through back seat and using emergency release. There is nothing in the trunk. A liner prevents me from seeing the actual latch.
View 2 RepliesDiscovered early morning, that car lights were somehow turnedon, after I put key to ignition, I am not able to remove it anymore. At first trunk opened, when I tried, now it won't open anymore and car doesnt start either. Also I can't move the steering wheel. It worth to mention, that there have been some rainy days also...

The other night I reached down to pull the trunk release and it didn't open! The button on the key will still open it (and so will using the key itself) however so I've narrowed it down to the little cable that runs from the release all the way to the trunk. What I should try? Is this covered by any warranty at all? I know I have the optional top tier warranty but I'm completely blanking on its name.
I am a new member here with 2011 Avalon Limited just bought last weekend. I was exploring all the features and options. Few questions are coming out from my exploration. What I have noticed that there is no Trunk Open indicator light on the dash nor any message on the NAV display. I left the trunk open and drove couple minutes, no light, no beep, no alarm... The instrument cluster has only door open indicator light that tells us one of the doors is open but which one, no indication... I believe, 2005-2010 Avalon has this indicator message with specific door shows on the center display screen. I tried to find this out on the manual real quick but couldn't find any. Am I missing anything somewhere? Or is there any trick to turn on any indicator light or alarm beep or message somewhere for trunk open? Or 2011 Avalon doesn't have this feature at all?
Next is, all the buttons are non-illuminated, such as Trunk Release, Gas cap release, Rear sunshade, Moonroof switch, Book light button, Dome light button, even the memory seat buttons are not illuminated. Are all the previous Avalon models have these buttons non-illuminated?
On the other hand, My 2013 Accord EXL and 2008 Odyssey have all these buttons illuminated and instrument cluster indicates which door is open including trunk. These two issues are the disappointment so far, Avalon is a higher class vehicle than Accord and expensive too, at least I expected these features as standard on Avalon. Other than these its a great driving car.
I just bought a 2012 toyota camry se with smart key. The trunk button on the remote opens the trunk, but the smart key button on the trunk lid does not open the trunk. I found a brown module unplugged the the left of the seat release handles in the trunk, I checked the wiring to the switch on the trunk lid.
View 7 RepliesI was moving something this weekend and could not close the trunk all the way. The trunk / door open alarm was beeping the whole time. I was only driving 10 minutes or I swear I would have ripped the stupid thing out of the car somehow !!!!!!
Can this beep / alarm be disabled or set to turn off after 30 seconds like the seatbelt chime?
Key wont unlock the trunk - first time this problem has appeared, interior latch does not open trunk either/ Squirt of WD40 into lock does not work.
View 1 RepliesThe back up lights don't work until I open the trunk about 6 inches, then they both work.
View 1 RepliesFor some reason, I didn't close my trunk door good last night and I discovered that the trunk remained open all night long, about 12 hours. I am worried that the trunk light may have drained my battery. The car started up just fine with no delays or odd noises.
View 3 RepliesI've just purchased a 2005 Camry LE 4cyl Auto. It came with only one key (black rubberized Toyota key) and one keyless entry remote. I can only start the car with the key. it won't unlock the driver's door, trunk, nor glove box.
I had thought maybe it was a valet key but it should still unlock the driver’s door. I had a spare key made and bought a second remote, but am still having the same issue (key starts the car but will not unlock anything else).
I just want to be able to get in the car in case the battery dies in my keyless remote and I can't open the door or truck.
a couple of notes:
1) I thought maybe the door lock was sticking but since it’s not working on the door, truck, and glove box, I suspect it is something else
2) not keyed hole on any other doors to test out
3) not a chipped key as I had a spare made for $3 and it starts the vehicle.
I sent my car out for a new clutch and timing chains cause I did not have the time to do my self. So when I got it back I try and get into the trunk and the key will not turn the lock so then I tried to do it with the switch and you could here it unlock but again still would not open.
Also I called the mechanic and he claims he never heard this b4 cause the key should always be able to turn.
So my Passat 2.0T 4dr trunk will not open up on it's own.
When I press the trunk release button inside the car or on my key fob, the trunk latch releases but it will not fling up on its own.
How would I fix this? Do I spray WD40 on the latch bar??
I have bumper to bumper warranty on the car....Do I just take it to the dealers or is this something I can fix? Will the stealership try to charge me for this work?
I had a flat tire yesterday and when my husband went to change the tire we couldn't open the trunk. I tried pushing the button in the glove box and I still can't open it.
View 1 RepliesCan't open the trunk and need to get it open for body work. How can I unlatch it from the inside.
View 6 RepliesPacked my car with luggage in the trunk got to my destination and I can't get the trunk open. From the trunk itself to the release on the door to the button on the remote nothing will open it. I am screwed because I really need to open this trunk and no VW dealers are open.
View 10 RepliesMy trunk wont open from the button inside the car but I can open the trunk using the remote.
View 5 RepliesFor the past couple of weeks I have been having some issues with my trunk. The MFD would say that the trunk is open when indeed it is not. With that happening the car will lock the doors but not arm with an audible beep and the door lock lights will flicker at the same time so would the trunk display on the MFD.
I found a fix by locking the trunk down with the valet key on the driver door by the trunk/gas buttons, that stopped the trunk display from lighting up and the car was no able to arm the alarm properly.
Now within 3 days the issue has come back up even with the trunk locked with the valet key. In order to get the car to arm properly I have to unlock the Trunk Switch , open the trunk, re close trunk and then re lock the trunk switch with the valet key.
Having intermittent power boot problem .. and now i cant get the boot open at all!!!! nothing happens with internal switch, key fob, external switch and i cant even open it manually with the key..
View 3 RepliesTrunk not open all the way when using the button on the remote, inside the car, or the smart sensor? It is pretty useless if your hands are full and the trunk opens a few inches and you still have to manually open it the rest of the way.
View 5 RepliesMy buddy just bought an '01 B5 1.8T 4Mo. He got a great deal on it and it only has 74k on the clock, but it seems as though the P.O. was a d-bag. There's a few cigarette burns on the upholstery and somehow the key fob looks like it was melted??
Anyways, since the key fob has melted, he must open the doors manually with the key. For some reason, the trunk won't open though. He said he unlocked it manually with the key, and presses the button on the trunk lid, but it just won't open. I told him to fold down his back seats and go through there to get into the trunk, but he said that his back seats don't fold either and that there's a metal beam behind the seats. I'm guessing maybe this was put on for chassis stiffening of the 4Mo models??? You guys think maybe the cable is broken or something??
The driver side door opens, but no matter what I do, the trunk won't open. I've tried pressing the fob a few times, and nothing happens.
