Default Trunk won't Open

Has anyone had the problem that the truck won't open any way? Inside button, no, key auto open no, manual open, no....

Trying to not have to go to the dealer on this. Any thoughts?

I believe that all cars have a manual internal trunk release. Fold the rear seats down , crawl in and release the trunk manually and then see if it will work with the other auto switches

Dammit, I'm too late to give this dumbass a hard time!

(which I'm entitled to do because I did the exact same thing, couldn't open the trunk and started a thread. Man I'm a dumbass too.)
