My trunk has been inoperable for almost 2 months. I take it to the dealer the tech says he’s thinks it’s an electrical issue but he would have to keep to fully diagnose. Decided against; out of state. I did the 1st thing I’d normally do last; check RU-vid. And here you were it worked. I tried everything! The missing part was the trunk handle. Mine doesn’t release anymore but once I moved it to the forward position to hit at the same time as the key it did work. Great job on this one!
Also want to add that, although the manual key fits both ways, my trunk will only open if I insert my key such that key handle is pointing toward the car (as opposed to me). Great video - thanks for the heads-up!
