2001 Focus Trunk

My trunk will not open with the switch on the dashboard. I MUST use the key to open it. Is there an adjustment to make the switch work again? Thanks. Miles

my push button trunk release also stopped working after I programmed my new remote entry units. It only works with the key out of the ignition.

I bought the car used and it came with one key and no remotes. I took a gamble and bought a remote from chipkeys.com and used the programming instructions from focushacks.com and the remote worked. So I didn't do any wiring. Either the car had remotes and they didn't pass them along when I bought it, or all 2002 se come with the transmitter built in waiting to be programmed whether you order remotes or not. It is possible that I made a mistake in programming, but it is pretty simple. To me it doesn't matter if the push button doesn't work as long as the remote opens the trunk.
