No joy.
Then I got in the car to drive home, saw the switch on the dash, hit it and the
trunk lid rose.
Got out, shut it, and it opened by pushing the cylinder in.
Possible lingering problem: I thought the lock cylinder was flush with the
surrounding plastic.
Now it's recessed about 1/4"

either.

So, this morning I pushed in the plunger to open the trunk with the car locked.
Nothing happened because the trunk was locked.
Then I hit the button on the key fob, the green light flashed, I hit the plunger
again, possibly while
the lock mechanism was in motion. The trunk didn't open.
