Hello and thank you for using JustAnswer.com

No the key does not work to open the trunk. We can manipulate the trunk latch but does not open the trunk either.

Answer

Ok, this could get interesting. Ready!

You will have to pull down the rear center arm rest, then reach into the trunk with a flash light. Under the latch there is a lever, that moves up and down. That is the valet switch. Most likely that is what is keeping the trunk release from popping the trunk.

If you have any more questions on this, please feel free to ask .Thanks Jay!
