trunk will not pop!

hey! i cant get my trunk to open on my 03 sedan. It only works when i pull the emergency things from reaching through to seats. I was just wondering if any of you know what the problem is to save me troubleshooting! is this a common problem? and i did try the switch in the glove box and that didnt help either. thanks alot.

I just had this to me happen to my 03 coupe. It was the wiring going to the trunk lid. Some of the wires broke, so I had to just crimp them back together. If you do a search on here, it explains it better.

By the passenger side hinge.
Pull back the rubber coating of the wiring harness and you'll probably find some frayed wires.

Check the valet override switch in the glovebox. The truck release is disabled with this switch.

[edit] nevermind, I'm a mooron and missed the first post details
