Hi,

I have a 2008 Dodge Charger. My trunk doesn't open with the keyfob and the inside switch. But, I can open it with the key itself. What could be the problem and the solution?

Thanks.

My guess, fuse.

Which fuse would it be? I tried fuze #17 but it seems good. I even put in a new one. Still no luck.

I have no idea, never had to mess with my fuses...yet. Unless there is a break in the connection making it so the trunk latch doesn't get the signal.

I had this problem before. When you open the trunk you'll see a tube with wires inside it going from the car the trunk lid, you have a cut there. Common problem really.

Is it on the right top side of the trunk? How can I fix it?

Yep that's it. And not really sure I took mine to the dealer. But the tube is wrapped with electric tape so I guess they took out the wires out of it and found the problem.

Oh ok. But how would I fix it?

I'm not really sure. I have a voltmeter, I would hook up one end of it to a needle and ground the other end. Stick the needle into the wire and see if you get power when when pressing the trunk release button, if not then the break is before the place you put the needle in... idk if that was clear.

Thanks for the help. i just re-connected the wires and it works like a charm. Seems like it also fixed my trunk light that wasn't working.

Good news. I was going to suggest a warm bath and a couple glasses of wine. Lol.

Trunk Issue

Yeah my cluster button won't unlock and my remote won't unlock it could someone please post photos of the locations where the fuse might be.

Mine was the same problem as well. Except, my issue was not the fuse it was the wires that run from the trunk lid to the trunk itself. If it helps, I had checked fuse number 17 located in the trunk near the spare tire. Be sure to check those cables as well.
