My trunk remote does not work, and the key does not turn the trunk lock. Is there any otherway to get into the trunk other than removing the back seat?
I can't find any button in the glove compartment.
Thanks

I would start by checking the trunk relay and fuse. Here are two guides and the locations of the relay and fuse.
