Neither the remote or the door button works. What fuse can I check? Any other ideas?

There's a valet/defeat switch in the glove box, see if that got bumped/played with by accident?

There is a trunk release solenoid that fails sometimes... do you hear it "click" but it doesn't do anything? If you remove the part and it appears to be "stuck" in the open position, that's how mine failed.

The other possibility is that the "flapper" that springs to the left to push the latch open has gotten bent. If the actuator is OK, I would bend that a little more to the left... Wes posted a pretty detailed post on this a year or so ago...

Good luck!

Heath
