Default Trunk lid STOPPED opening

Weird - just out of the blue, key fob, door opener, nothing opens the lid.

All circuits were fine, checked and verified the fuse for that circuit was fine, opened twice using key in underside key slot, will close and pull down/lock fine.

When I press the opener on the fob, I can hear the actuator, but no release. Can't release by hand either.

Nothing blocking, no change to vehicle. Guess a dealer trip is coming.

Valet button inside the glovebox. Happened to me too.

LOL. Same thing happened to me--- felt pretty dumb when service manager opened the glove box and pointed to the valet button. :-).
