Anyone else have this issue? It opens fine if I use the key fob.

You do have the fob back there with you when you're attempting to open the hatch, right?

To open the hatch with the button above the license plate the fob needs to be back there within a couple feet of the button.

If you leave the fob in the cockpit the button won't work. If you have the fob in a briefcase, gym bag, etc., that you throw into the hatch and then you close the hatch (or trunk of a vert) the button won't work.

The fob has to be with you behind the car when you're trying to open the hatch with the button.

He might be referring to the button on the lower dash....

Yep but the FOB must be with you or anyone could open the hatch!

Even with the FOB inside of the car, the button will not work. A couple of months ago, I was 10-15 meters from the car and it wouldn't lock so I could remote start it. Could the battery need replacing?

Are you referring to the button on the dash, the button on the fob, or the button above the rear license plate that doesn't work?

After about 20 months the fob on my 2015 Stingray started acting weird. I took it home I checked the voltage, which was 3.05V while a new battery is around 3.3V. I replaced it and after that had no more trouble for the next three months 'til I traded the car.

I'm confused too. Are we sure it's a corvette he's trying to open?

The fob does not need to be with you to use the open hatch button on the dash (lower left of steering column). My car stays unlocked in my garage with the fob out of range, and I use it all the time.

I'm assuming that's the button he's talking about.

Yes, this is a vey confusing thread..

Clay, I don't think you have auto lock set up, so your trunk should never lock in your garage unless you actively lock your car there.


If the car is locked, you should not be able to open the trunk via the under dash button.

It would be helpful if the OP actually asked a question regarding the problem he has. ( I think he thought he did, but as it is we are stuck in this strange place of guessing what he really wanted to ask).

I am talking about the button located inside of the cabin.

owc6

If the car is locked, you should not be able to open the hatch/trunk, via the under dash button.

R8Z51

Even if I open the door, it still doesn't work.

Rooster OG

If it's under warranty still, you should bring it in.

R8Z51

Bumper to bumper warranty has expired, unfortunately. It doesn't bother me, but I'm wondering why it stopped working all of the sudden. Going to try and replace the battery soon.

mpuzach

I can't imagine that the battery has anything to do with the problem.

Rooster OG

Fuse 26 & 31 in the rear fuse box both deal with the trunk release module. I don't think it would work at all if they were blown, but it's easy to check.

You also can't open it while the vehicle is moving

I leave a key in my car while it sits in the garage. Pretty sure both buttons work. If you unhook the battery, they don't work till you index the 'vert roof and Windows again.
