A little humor to add to the thread. It's quite common for trunk releases to be in gloveboxes on American cars. I buy a Bonneville and it's on the door. And there's a switch in the trunk to disable the door button. Right..you spend more time popping the trunk to fix that f'n button than anything else.

Fast forward a couple years I buy a 97 Regal.... there is literally no button. One was never put in on the 97 and 98 Regals. Eff that, I added the sucker.
