maa58A Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Hi all just purchased my first Lexus 1995 LS 400. I'm excited using it for my new career in Real Estate Sales. I have one problem my remote will not open the trunk. Is there a possible reset or maybe it's just worn out? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymsixsix Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Congratulations maa To open the trunk with the keyless entry remote, you have to hold down the button until it beeps and trunk opens. If the other buttons work on the remote and the trunk button doesn't, it's possible for that button to be worn out, but unlikely. I'm sure you've figured out that the inside trunk release will only work if the lock cylinder right by it, is unlocked. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymsixsix Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 If you decide to get a new remote, you can find them on ebay pretty reasonably priced. Programming the remote is pretty easy, I found the instructions here http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...ic=9825&hl= Let us know what takes place :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pstan Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 "The Mystery of the Sudden Trunk Release Malfunction." wow! you guys are great! my trunk release stopped working this morning, after picking up the car from the mechanic (differnent issue)...and i was bummed. but i scoured this website for answers and many of you pointed out the trunk lock mechanism in the glove compartment. and....it worked! i cant thank you enough for your expertise and experience in helping a fellow lexus owner solve "The Mystery of the Sudden Trunk Release Malfunction." I was so sure i'd need to call Scooby Doo and his Mystery Machine or worse, a certified lexus dealer....and his meddling kids. i am starting life over again after a few mistakes and my 94 ES300 (274K, bought 40 days ago for $2900) is an encouraging milestone for me...so when anything goes wrong....it makes for a bad day. i scoured this website for answers and i found them. thanks again to all of you. lexus rocks! YOU rock!!! -Pstan (the P is silent) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
