I've done this in the past too. Look where the trunk latches down. There should be a switch that goes up and down. Make sure it's in the open position (i dont know if it's up or down) then try to press the trunk release button on your door and then try it with your remote.

Maybe it snagged onto something and partially went down and locked it.

But it's where the truck latch is..I think that's what you're talking about.

Our cars don't have a 'valet switch' stock.

does it open easily when you use the key? or do you still have to pull hard?
