Remote trunk button on driver side door
 
Remote trunk button on driver side door

(click for larger pic)

This is for the trunk remote open switch. On the driver's side door, there is a button directly below the grab handle which, when pushed, unlocks and pops open the trunk. It does the same thing as the button on the keyfob.

The trunk switch has a colorful history. Apparently it was a lighted item in 2003, and then for a short while in 2004 it disappeared completely. It reappeared in 2005 as a non-lighted model. If you have a non-lighted version & want it lighted, it is very simple to simply swap it out. If you don't have it at all, it gets a little more complicated, but doable.

If you do not have a switch at all, you may need to punch a hole in the door.  The correct harness SHOULD be there, with a connector ready to be plugged in.  That's a theory though.  The second picture backs up that theory, as there is a receptacle for an the unused connector molded into the door.
