Hi guys, new to the forums. So i have a '99 9-5 and the trunk switch on both the door and the alarm don't open up the trunk. I can hear it unlock but that's all. It can only be opened by the key. Any thoughts?

Hrm well if you actually hear the lock working to release the trunk latch I would assume either the actuator is no long attached to the latch or the trunk is poorly aligned and its binding the latch so it will not release properly does it open easily with the key or does it seem to bind at all? I would remove the panel and inspect the latch and actuator. If the actuator were not working you could inspect the harness going into the trunk since they tend to chaff.
