How do I get my trunk to open when I push the button?

Question:
I have an 02 Buick Century whose trunk can only be opened with the key. We push the button inside it, or we push the button on the keyring, and it still doesn't open. Does any one know how I can fix it myself, what part I would need, and if it is a simple enough problem that my husband can fix it? We are poor college students, so we need to go inexpensive, and if it costs too much, we just won't worry about it. Any ideas, you smart people out there?

Look around inside the trunk. There is usually a switch that deactivates the cabin trunk release. Check to see if it has been turned off. This happens to me when I put a lot of stuff in the trunk. If nothing is wrong, maybe take it to the dealer.

There might be a "defeat" button for this function.
This is sometimes built into a car to prevent valet parkers, or service people from getting into your trunk.
Read your owners manual, or find an owners website.

I just replaced a bad starter in My 1988 Jeep, but now it just wont turn over. Loose connection?

Check the fuse for that circuit. Most likely it is blown. If the fuse is good, replace the battery in the key fob.

To find that trunk switch, you must get into the trunk. Have the trunk key with you. Have your husband close the trunk lid.
