F30 Trunk Latch Troubleshooting
The trunk latch on my 2014 328d xDrive will not unlatch using the rear handle, front trunk latch button, or the key fob. My vehicle does not have a key lock on the trunk. I have verified that the valet lock is off. I have checked the wiring for any sign of broken shielding or loose connections. There does seem to be voltage going across the wires. All trunk lighting is working when the actuator is unlatched using the emergency trunk release. I replaced the actuator and have checked all fuses in the back of the vehicle. The battery on my vehicle is 9 years old, but everything else functions fine and I've never had trouble starting the car. Any thoughts on what could be happening? Is there something I'm missing? (To be clear the trunk latches fine, but will only unlatch using the emergency trunk release).

I have since replaced the battery out of misplaced hope that would solve the electrical gremlin. No joy. Probably next step would be looking at replacing the wires? After that who knows...
