How come on a 2001 Pontiac Sunfire the remote trunk release doesn't open the trunk but the headlights flash how their supposed to?

Hmm.... It sounds like your key fob is sending signals OK. Does it lock and unlock the doors the way it should? If so, something is amiss in the trunk or the latch. If you can open it with the key, at least you're not stuck with a non usable trunk. The problem might be a fault in the key fob it'self, or may be a bad connection in the trunk. On my '96, the remote controller is located behind the carpet in the trunk on the driver's side fender wall. I'd check all of those plugs and take a look at the connection to the latch. I think I'd also shoot the latch with some WD-40. It might be that it's just sticky. Also, if your key opens the trunk, take a look at the little threaded trunk lid adjusters in the trunk lid, if your car has them, and make sure the trunk lid is closing the same on both sides. If the trunk lid is skewed when it's closed, it might be binding. In my part of the country, several auto stereo shops also sell, and will test, key fobs. You might want to consider having the fob checked to see if just the trunk button is not working. That's about the best I can do for you. Good Luck! FriPilot
