Thank you so much my dad was gonna get a new rental car because we couldn’t open the trunk to put out luggage in for a road trip 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you! I was so aggravated as to why my trunk wouldn’t open and that was the issue! The valet button...I must have accidentally pressed when I was cleaning out my glove box.

thanks for this man! I moved to a new town and have been to a new garage twice now, just for an oil change/tire rotation. the first time i got the car back with a pinhole leak on the inside tire wall on a front tire (got it plugged somewhere else). the second time, yesterday, they apparently flipped this switch (which no garage I have ever been to has done) and didn't tell me. safe to say I will never take my car back there again.

Best video on KZread, straight to the point! Much appreciated!!

Thanks bro, had this problem for a while, knew it was broken bit didn't know where to get the part or how to test it. Less hassle to open with button than latch. Thanks again

This video just saved me a lot of trouble. The switch in the glove box was set to off and that was exactly what was wrong. My glove box latch disconnected a week ago, and I had to fight to reconnect it. I must've bumped the switch when I was fixing that.

Thank-you for the great tip regarding the valet switch! Much appreciated.

you just helped me a lot, didnt even know my car had that switch

Thanks a mill! I was just about to take the vehicle to the mechanic, but after seeing your video, I found the valet mode which was accidentally switch on.

Thank you for sharing the great tip, I was about to order the lock actuator, but just doing a final check with the part # and found your video, problem solved with seconds! 👍🏼

Excellent Video. Fixed my trunk remote in less than 5 minutes! Wish I had seen this a year ago.

Thanks for posting, the guys at the oil change place managed to hit mine changing the cabin air filter, thought i was going to have to take the car in till i watched this.

Thank you for this. I had no clue why my trunk stopped opening 😊

Great job finding the break and explaining it to us!

Thank you you definitely saved me a trip to the dealer I believe my son was playing around in my glove box and pushed the valet switch.

thank you!!! my trunk light on 2015 Honda Accord has problem to have it turns on since i replaced it with a new LED strip light but it stopped working for a while. So glad i found this video to help me out.

Thank you! That was an easy fix, not sure how and when it got switched off.

Thank you for this! I thought I was gonna have yet another expensive repair. I drive an Uber in Boston, and people have a tendency to slam the trunk, making me think one of them was "the last straw" breaking the latch mechanism. Apparently, I accidentally tripped the valet switch when rummaging through my glove compartment.

Excellent teaching!!! Thank you so much.

Appreciate all the help that you povide to the 9th gen accord family. I would love a follow up on the morimoto xb fogs you are running and headlight setup.

Thank you for watching. I had the xb fogs installed for the past 6-7 years and I have zero issues with them. They don't blind on coming drivers and the beam pattern is crisp, sharp and wide. Same thing with the HID setup. No issues whatsoever. I've been using their products for over a decade. Great product and customer service.

Excellent video. Thank you

Great video. Thank you

You saved me 195 dollars! Honda asked for 195 just for diagnostics 😂. Thank you !

Thank you , that was slick bro.

Thank you so much!!!! I was cleaning the car and I must've click the button... Thanks again! 💪🏻 Just subbed and liked!

Thank you so much! Damn dealership wanted me to bring it in. They never said to check the valet switch and that's exactly what it was.

Thanks a million. Mine was the valet switch

That was awesome sir. Thank you much!

Thank you for saving my heart. I almost got worried.

Nice informative video. try changing the black wire with new one. from the socket all the way to the cut point. there might be a lost contact or break on the wire inside the wire insulator.

Really good video! Mike

Great video!!!!

Thanks so much... Had some issue with my 2015 Honda too

Excellent video. I have the same problem with the driver's door on my Dodge Caravan. Interior lights shut off when the door is opened past a certain point.

Bedankt, erg behulpzaam!

Hopefully mine doesn’t have this trunk issue, but if it does, your video in your library of diy will be very helpful

I hope so too. This was a little more technical to figure out the issue. Even though I have a zero deductible extended warranty on this vehicle, I decide to troubleshoot it myself than taking it to the dealership to get it fixed so that other people can figure it out without having to pay the $120 - $150 diagnostic fee at the dealership outside the warranty period.

Thank you for this, had no idea about valet mode. Was already having a rough month with my car repairs and almost thought I had to get my trunk fixed too 😂

Thankyou so much, thought my trunk was broken

Hey Jeff do you still make the plug and play LED reflectors for a 2017 accord? I’d like to purchase a pair.

Yo! I love KZread!! Thank you for making this video 💜💜💜💜💜 my valet was turned off 🤦🏽‍♀️ I didn’t even know I had this button

Thank you so much Sr

Hell of a good video.

Great video

Bingo I had a cut wire too . Great vid 😊😊😊

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Thanks! Was wondering why I couldn’t open it with my key remote

Ty for the vid

Thank you. I’m curious what the next troubleshooting steps would have been, how to test that third wire and what to check next if all three wires were good.

thank you

Thanks for the video I feel stupid now I completely forgot about the valet switch was on

Excellent.

Thank so much.I am happy only I hope need do “on”the bottom .

thanks bro

Thank you thank you thank you so much, i thought i was gonna have to go fix my new car lol

I have a similar issue but its on my 21 Acura TLX. I used 2 of my key fob, the button outside of the trunk and the button inside my door. They all do not work. I also check the glove box switch and it was clicked to ON. I even disconnected the car battery and nothing work. But when I do press the trunk release on my Key Fob, the hazard light do flashes. I'm pretty sure I would not of shorted anything since the trunk light is on. For the time being only way for me to open my trunk is manually by using the key and open it up on the rear deck. Do you think it might be a bad relay? Hope you might have some insight to this.

OMG, thank you so much. I had replaced my cabin air filter and turned it off. SMH

What is the size of the two bolts that hold the latch on? 10mm or 8mm?

Can you tell us how we can install the trunk release button honda accord 2017 sport special edition

Hey Jeff, Do you know a way to keep my turning bulbs off while not in use (regardless headlights are on) ? Is there a fuse for this? I switched them to LED bulbs, and even though I bought the ones with covers to reduce glares as much as posible, they are throwing too much light out so that I just want to find a way for them to turn on when my signals are on. Thank you.

cut the red wire on the front turn signal socket.

Thank you . It just happened to me . Haha 🤣

Probably would have been a good ideal to blur out your license plate or tape a color paper on it. You just to be safe! There’s a lot of creeps out there. Love ur vids Jeff!

My actuator wire on the plug is grounded - remote doesn't open the latch - any idea - what should be on the actuator wire? thanks

I’m having the same issue where my trunk is not opening with the smart key. The switch is set to “on” in my glovebox but the trunk release button on the actual trunk does not beep. What does it mean if it doesn’t beep when I press it?

Mine has very weird issue with trunk. Actuator is working, but only when you manually trigger trunk release with car diagnostics. Button or key doesn’t work. I would say its a cable, but how can i open with diagnostics, but my key is not working. I have ford focus with keyless entry 2010 mk2

good day what if there's no light on trunk?

I have this same problem with 2009 honda pilot

I can't open my 08 accords trunk, my neighbor is much smaller than I and he was in the trunk for about 1/2 hour, he says theres a another cable connected to the lock which he couldn't get to....now I have to check out some more intensed accord manuals to see what I need to do, because that top cable is moving, and my key fob actuates it too....

Oh that was my problem 😄🤣 it was in valet mode

Thanks! I went into Honda for an oil change and they switched it off for some reason 🙄🤦🏽‍♀️

I had the same problem with my Acura TL, the remote only work when the trunk is open all the way,and did not work when closed half way, any suggestion?

watch this video again with both eyes and ears open.

Still relevant for a 2022 accord 😅

My car trunk has been not working well for a bit.. sometimes, with the car parked and stopped, it would open the trunk on it's own.. we could close it multiple times, it would re-open within 2-5 minutes. Now we can't even open it manually. So if we can't open it at all (I have groceries and meat in there..) how can I fix it?

All above my pay grade, but thanks for doing the video.

Does this work with any car?

My key fob works but the trunk button does not. 2009 G37 coupe.

I never thought there was a hidden button

Honda has always had this issue 😒😒 Back in 04’ they had a recall on the TSX

Thank you! You’re a lifesaver! I couldn’t remember how to get to my trunk. I’ve only had problems with the battery…even with new ones. Other than that I love this car!

genius

I don’t have buttons in glove box

He says "Temporary" Fix That'd be a permanent one for me, chief

mine doesn’t open with lever 😅😅😅

You upgraded your 2013??? I didn’t know that.

So how the heck do you think your wire got cut that was causing the problem????

excellent video. thank you
