Default trunk release problem ????

No HP questions here, just a annoying problem with the truck release. Works fine from the dash , but the FOB won't pop the trunk. I have taken the FOB apart and cleaned the contacts. all other keys on FOB work fine.

Anyone seen this ?

thanks

No trunk problem with either of mine but I did have one that stopped opening the driver's door. Tried to check it out (new battery, etc) but it just quit opening the drivers side door. Each function operates on a different frequency. When I tried my extra RFA it worked fine on all functions so that's the one I'm using now. HTH

thanks for the reply. I was hoping for some super secret switch, but most likely a bad circuit on the FOB.
