Remote not opening trunk
I have just brought a 2001 euro spec Corvette.
The manual states that I should be able to open the trunk with the key fob, but this does not work. Any thoughts please |

either the remote button doesn't work or the unlatching servo doesn't. do
you hear a click or thump when you hit the button? if not, try jumpering the servo to see if it will trigger manually. if so, perhaps the cable just needs adjusting "yar" > wrote in message ... >I have just brought a 2001 euro spec Corvette. > > The manual states that I should be able to open the trunk with the key > fob, but this does not work. > > Any thoughts please > |

Put your key in the drivers door lock and unlock it 3 times and see if the
deck opens. Is so it may be your fob battery strength or the reception to your rear latch is faulty. -- Dad 05 C6 Silver/Red 6spd Z51 72 Shark Black/Black/4spd "Charles Spitzer" > wrote in message ... > either the remote button doesn't work or the unlatching servo doesn't. do > you hear a click or thump when you hit the button? if not, try jumpering > the servo to see if it will trigger manually. if so, perhaps the cable > just needs adjusting > > "yar" > wrote in message > ... >>I have just brought a 2001 euro spec Corvette. >> >> The manual states that I should be able to open the trunk with the key >> fob, but this does not work. >> >> Any thoughts please >> > > |

Thanks for the help but I have found out the fob works different to the
books description. I have to hold down the trunk opening button for a long while and then the petrol cap opens. I hold down the panic alarm button and the trunk opens. Very confusing.
