Glad you found it. be sure to lube the latch. As you have just discovered, the key switch doesn't have much leverage, so sometimes it won't move the latch or turn all the way to release, if there is the slightest extra resistance. Pulling the cable exerts more force than the key, so that can work when the key won't. Be aware that even as little overfilling the trunk so the cargo pushes lightly against the lid can keep the key (or electric release where applicable) from opening the trunk without pushing on the lid to reduce the resistance at the latch.

Dielectric silicone is what I use to lube my latches. Look very closely with a strong flashlight under the seat edge as you set the pin on the latch. My pin was off from the start and once I got it centered in the latch hole it has worked like butter ever since. :thumbup:
