Default Trunk release stopped working?????

The electronic trunk lid release (via both key fobs) has stopped working. Not huge issue but rather convenient. Is there a fuse or something simple to fix this?

That was it, the plug was not properly inserted (not a very tight/secure fit).

Thanks for your help!!

Mr Bond,

You are indeed a psychic! What has M implanted in your brain? Also where is this plug in the trunk that could vibrate itself loose?

Yo TEX,,,,,,No psychic.........M thought me a very good lesson,, ( KISS...)......chk the easy things first .. , the plug is on the trunk latch and i would not say it vibrates off,, it might not have been properly connected somehow ....

BUt i am glad that it was an easy fix and that the civilfox did not have to dish out any money..
Another brownie point for HAF..

I realize that this is an old post (+5 yrs), but after the body shop did some repair work to the rear of my 06 - EX, the trunk does not release/pop up with either of the keys anymore. Exactly what and where is this plug?
Body plug? Electrical connection?
thanks
