Electric trunk release.
Looking for help with electric trunk release.  The release buttons on the remotes and the dash won''t open the trunk anymore. It is a 2001 de ville and the valet button is off. The fuel door and door locks work fine. I checked the mico relay and it does click when the release buttons are presses, but there is no sound at all from the trunk solonoid. I suspect the solonoid is shot. How common is this and can it be repaired or do I need to buy a new one???    Thanks in advance.

These act up from time to time. Open the trunk. With a small screw driver throw the latch while clicking your remote, the latch is a plastic part so be careful. Sometimes it needs to travel all the way up in teh latch mechanism to release. Close trunk with pull down and try remote.

Well I tried it here at work but still no good. I guess I will take it apart tonight and have a better look. Damm maybe I have to replace it.
