JACK Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 99 STS TRUNK WILL INTERMITTENTLY NOT OPEN WITH REMOTE, WHEN REMOTE NOT WORKING BUTTON UNDER DASH WILL ALSO NOT OPEN TRUNK. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE ONLY WAY TO GET INTO TRUNK IS WITH KEY. IF ANYBODY ELSE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND CAN HELP IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

JACK Posted September 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 P.S. ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS FOR REMOTE WORK FINE EXCEPT FOR TRUNK RELEASE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHE Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Check the wiring where the harness follows the deck lid hinge. Many times, the wires break due to the flexing. Another thing to check is the connection at the release solenoid. Kevin '93 Fleetwood Brougham '05 Deville '04 Deville 2013 Silverado Z71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmpafford Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 You are going to feel like an idiot as much as I did if I am right about your problem. Check the Valet button in the glove box. If it is pushed in, the remote will not operate the trunk or the fuel door. The buttons on the dash will not work either. This allows you to bush the button and lock the glove box and give the ignition key and remote to the valet. He will not be able to open the trunk or fuel door. One of my kids pushed the button without telling me, I thought I had blown a fuse or killed my remote. Check this solution first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekfx19 Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 he said the other functions work ...im assuming he meant that the fuel door works which would mean its not the valet button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK Posted September 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 THAT'S RIGHT ALL FUNCTIONS WORK EXCEPT TRUNK RELEASE WHICH IS INTERMITTENT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paintedalley Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 I have the same problem with my 98 deville, sometimes the trunk opens and some times it won't, lately it will not open with either key or the dash button, (did check the valet button) I do know if hte trunk is shut too hard it will not work, grocery kid shut it too hard once..gas door works from the key or button and doors lock/unlock with my remote but won't unlock with my husbands, will lock though.. car is just smarter than us!

Ranger Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Just another thought on the subject. I had the same problem on my wifes Bonneville. It turned out to be a bad relay under the dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
