The central locking system appears to be locked down. Can access the front door with the key, but the key fob does not unlock anything (batteries are good). I cannot access the trunk with the key fob or the key. I recently replaced (few months ago) the central locking module in the trunk due to water getting into the trunk area and was working fine. I may be having an issue with the module again, however I have no idea how to get into the trunk. Tried putting in the trunk key and turning it left and pushing, that did not work. Any recommendations?

Hello,

These car have a battery powered alarm module that goes out in these cars. Here is a video of the job being done.

Here is a release guide for the trunk (below)

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.
