Nissan Altima: Altima remote trunk opener problem

My first thought is that when its closed, there is a bind or
misalignment that is more than the solonoid can overcome.

What year is the Altima, do you have a FSM for it?

Put downward pressure on trunk lid and have someone operate cabin
release, remove pressure when you feel it activate. Alternatly put
upward pressure on it and try the same thing. Lubricate all pivot
points on hinges and torsion bar.

The circuit might have too much resistance, if you can trace the
circuit with the help of a circuit diagram you can disconnect each
connection and clean and apply dialectic grease and replug.

read the owners manual, it will tell you how to enable/disable the remote
trunk release feature

It is a 2000 -- I don't have the service manual. Just a third party
manual, which really doesn't show ver much in the way of schematics --
certainly not the trunk solenoid detail.

Thanks for the suggestion -- I've tried fiddling with the trunk but to
no avail. I also libricated all moving parts also.

When I put my finger on the actuator coming from the solenoid
(actually a motor with gears inside, btw), I feel a decent amount of
pressure only when it first actuates. If I actuate twice (one after
the other) the solenoid hardly moves.

I'll try to trace the wire back where it came from. Hard to do,
because it immediately goes behind a panel.

Thanks again.

Thanks but the solenoid (motor, whatever it is) is moving when I try
to open the trunk so it is enabled.

the solenoid is live all the time, you need to make sure the valet lever is
in the correct position on the trunk latch
