Default Trunk Latch & Gas Cap won't open

Hey all,

Suddenly can not open my trunk or gas cap. Not sure how or if at all they are connected but..... Fuse to gas cap is fine, every time I push the trunk button I can hear the Micro-relay in the passenger side clicking but trunk does not open.

I went through all the electricall stickies and did not find this issue. Anybody have any thoughts?

Oh.. how do you pull out a micro relay and test it?

The only thing I can find in common with the two circuits is the ground. They share ground 302. With the time I had this morning, the ground looks to be somewhere to the outside of the passenger seat below the b-pillar. I cannot find a good view of exactly where the ground is located.

Interesting... I know where that is. I grounded a wire to it a week or so ago. Probably my issue... thanks for finding that interesting tidbit. I will check it out!

Foglights have a few components: In the fusebox in the car, fuse 32 15a, under the hood by the batter, Relay 39 and Fuse 8.

Trunk release: Fuse 32

Sounds like you should be starting at Fuse 32.
