Default Changed battery, trunk won't open.

Had battery changed in my 2014 Corvette, immediately after the electronic trunk and under the license switch stopped working? I can't open my trunk without using the key. Any ideas what I need to do?

Does it open from the dash switch?

Problems that happen after the battery is changed usually go back to the battery installation. Loose cable, cable crooked and not making contact properly.

yeah go back to battery area and ensure the small black wire that goes to the negative terminal wasnt broken off during install, common thing to happen.
if not recheck all connections again.
