2008 G37s - trunk will not open. Switch near steering wheel gives no result.

Key fob trunk button gives no result, but pressing the button on the trunk when outside the car makes the car beep 4x.

Only way to open trunk now is use mechanical release lever by going through back seat.

Any ideas?

 

Open glove box, there is a small rocker switch / upper right side. That is a valet over-ride.

 

This happened to me 2 weeks ago.
Open the trunk, take a look on your left side, you will see a rubber hose.
Pull the hose down, you will see approximately 10 wires.
You will see that the wires are thin, check to see if some of them are cut.
This was the reason why my trunk wouldn't open but would still beep 4 times.
Hope that helps

 

The valet switch has been checked, it is in correct position.

I opened up that rubber hose, everything is heavily taped up in electrical tape so not possible to see easily. I don't think it is a power issue because I pulled out the connectors to the relay/truck latch and measure 12V power.

Interesting thing though is that there is no signal across that connector. When I put the meter on Green and Black wire the resistance is infinite.

Any other ideas? I'm thinking of switching out the relay.

 

Mine juss stop working. I have the same problem how did u fix this problem? Or has anyone found anything?

 

Anyone figure this issue out, i have the same issue. Just getting 4x beeps. Will be much appreciated for some insight

 

had the same problem, as said above it was a broken wire within the rubber boot of wires on the left, it will tend to break where the hose bends all the time, fixed broken wire and all is good

 

You don't have a spare key in the trunk do you?

 

did you resolve this? I’m currently having the same issue and idk if I should fix it myself (easy fix) or take it somewhere?

 

I fixed mine and it’s an easy fix don’t need go to somewhere else to get it fix. I had to cut the rubber boot for the trunk to go and check the wires. When I got it opened there was two wires that were cut, so I had to put them together n use a heat shrinked tube and yeah it’s pretty easy after that it work. Hope this help

 

good to know but if I cut the boot how do I get a new boot? Is there a way to not cut the boot?

 

no I juss used electric tape over the rubber boot and when u used the heat shrinked tube put electric tape over it just to make sure.

 

you think 100% it’s a cut wire or do you think it might be a fuse?

 

not sure maybe check ur fuse if the fuse is blown than change. If not maybe the wire. Coz mine was the wires soo I just connected them

 

thank you, this will be a little project then
