so today i got my oil changed at the mazda dealership. after i drove it for a bit i went to pop my trunk and the trunk release button no longer works...it opens with the key atleast? i dunno anyone else have a problem like this? service dept. is closed through the weekend and im going out of town monday morning so i cant exactly let them handle the problem

 

did you check the switch in the glove box?

 

glove box? it that where the owners manual is?

beers

 

heh...didnt think to check that, in my defense the car doesnt have an owners manual. let's let this post sink way to the bottom

 

I had that same problem, I installed a Viper 5901 alarm with remote start recently and my aux switch for my trunk would "pop" (sound) but not fully release the trunk. I've look all over the forums, and yes the button to release the trunk on the glove box was "on". Other than replacing the whole assembly there was no solution... But, I sprayed some WD 40 and now its fully releasing the trunk o.O... I'm guessing the latch was not fully releasing because it was not fully lubricated to "unlatch" the trunk. lol whatever it works now, hopefully this helps others.
