Stupid Question

I have a dumb question. I have a 99 Z28 and The yellow trunk release button does not work. In order to open it I have to turn off the car and use the remote. I look at all my fuses and they are good both in the car and under the hood any ideas? Thanks

Re: Stupid Question

my remote works so i think it is just the button. I also noticed that when I have the Emergency brake on there is no light (this may be the problem no light so the button is not armed) How might I go about fixing that?

Re: Stupid Question

did you have the E-brake on and door open? I think there's some safety measures in our cars so that the trunk can't be opened when the car is moving

Re: Stupid Question

Yeah I tried it with the door open and ebrake up. But when I pull the ebrake up my brake light does not come on. Is there a fuse or something I that is hooked up to the ebrake that I need to change. All the fuses in the pannel and under the hood look good to me. Thanks

Re: Stupid Question

There is probably some sort of microswitch that is activated by pulling up the e-brake handle. Pull up the console and look around.

Re: Stupid Question

Ok I figured it out. It was a combination of two things. There is a ground that the ebrake was suposed to hit well it was bent a little out of line. Fixed that and now the ebrake light is lit. Next the hatch i took off the pannel and found that the damn thing wasnt even pluged in?? WTF!! ok well I pluged it in and presto!
