Sadclown, You helped me -- I did not know what the valet switch was so I "Googled" it and there was a youtube of the similar problem in the search results ( ) -- titled, "SC300/SC400/LS400/GS300/GS400/GS430 DIY - If Your Trunk Lock Button doesn't work". It appears that I must have accidentally pushed in the locking button between the electronic gas door and trunk release buttons. I unlocked it with my key and "viola". Unfortunately, in the video they did not have the original key just the valet key, so my solution was much simpler. Thank you and all who responded to my plight -- your responses guided me to the correct answer. Sincerely,​ ​

If this was my post (I did not use NOLA97Lex seems like system merged an old profile -- I thought I submitted TZXLYD but anyway) I meant the trunk will only open with the key -- key fob battery is good because it will open the door but not the trunk. Trunk can only be opened by using the key -- the trunk release button in the car does not work either. So, I wondered if it is a fuse as I would hope the trunk cable/wire is not broken. ​

Anyone have a problem with the hood release? I have a 97 SC300 and now only the key will open my hood. I have tried the key fob and it doesn't work either. Could this be a fuse issue?
