Try hitting the button "2" times ...the BAD NEWS would be the trunk lid don't open, the GOOD NEWS is you only have to try it 98 more times

That button gets dirty and will cause problems. Do a search and Talon has a thread on cleaning it. Very simple to do. Good luck.

It did it again this weekend. Only way to get the trunk open was the actual key.

I had a similar issue, but turned out I did not lock the Convertable roof. Ensure the Lock is tightly secured.
