Trunk Opening Automatically! - 2/15/2007 8:35:44 AM

Yesterday, I pressed the door unlock button on my fob, and the trunk opened along with the doors! Confirming I wasn't a) crazy, and b) hitting the trunk release (which wouldn't make sense because it's a "hold" button), I closed the trunk and tried it again. Sure enough, it opened again. Then last night, it actually opened WHILE I was driving (no button pressed).

Any guesses at a cause or how I can diagnose it?

Thanks in advance.

Do you happen to have a system in your trunk?!?! I had a similar problem at one point in time ... my system was actually hitting so hard that it would pop my trunk and it eventually busted the truck latch! However I did have 4 12s in the trunk so yea.
