Default Trunk Lid Fuse question

I don’t have my car available to check the manual, but does anyone know what fuse controls the trunk lid release button? My current seating position puts my knee very close to the button. I’ve hit it by accident several times. I have a track day coming up and I don’t want to hit the button by accident on track. I’ve thought of trying to unplug the button, or pull the fuse. If the relevant fuse controls other necessary stuff, I guess I’ll have to pull the button.

Look up Sandyeggo Designs. They make a recessed housing for the trunk switch. Makes it nearly impossible to activate with your knee. One of the first mods I did after I opened the trunk by accident.

Never had a problem hitting the button with my knee, but thanks for the recommendation on the recessed housing.

Seems like nobody actually answered your question.

From 2019 manual Rear Fuse box:

31 Trunk release
module latch

The fuse number may be different depending on model year...
