Trunk won't pop and panic won't sound
Well, to begin with I had a breathalyzer installed about 3 months ago and the installer had to do crazy **** like wire it to the horn, etc...figured it wouldn't mess with much but turns out the trunk button on the interior of the car near the steering wheel won't pop the trunk and neither will the key fob anymore. Also the panic button on the key fob won't sound the car anymore....are there fuses for these functions or should i attribute this to the installation of the breathalyzer...I'd really like to get this fixed because manually opening the trunk is annoying and i lose my car easier

When you lock your doors with the FOB does the alarm light on the dash light up .
Its a yellow light, I think its a car with a pad lock but I may be wrong.
Those trunk release switches are easy to break/pull the wires out of. If you doing work under the dash and have to remove any of the trim panels this makes it that much easier to break it.
Do you know the name of the company that makes the breathalyzer, or is it a goverment thing?

lol it wasn't the key fob, the fusebox under the hood had some broken legs and the circuitry got shorted out for the trunk....and i guess i didn't make it clear enough but the people that installed the interlock device for my car were the culprits, although these geniuses at the stealership don't look like they know wtf they're doing either. and how the hell did they make a radio not turn on by replacing the back bumper? I'm interested in this escapade lol.

hell no man and i'm never making that stupid ******* mistake again lol...i had it removed like....a year and a half ago...its past the point where i can point fingers to the interlock company...it sure isn't going to stop me from sending in a receipt with a note of complaint against the outlet that did the install. I don't care if I don't get money back, etc., but I'm def. not going to keep quiet about it, especially since they vehemently denied all involvement with my trunk and panic button failing to work after their "professional" install.

so everything works great now, rear defroster, trunk, etc. they claimed there was nothing wrong with my rear right suspension assembly because i heard a clunk over every bump, minor, major etc....and when i picked the car up, it was miraculously fixed....i was ecstatic until i hopped out of the car and noticed my hood was propped up half an inch higher on the left side than it is on the right....lol. i bring my car somewhere to be fixed and they have to **** up at least one thing...im cursed.
