Why isn't the trunk button on my Nissan X-Trail functioning properly?

I understand that you may not be attempting the foot gesture to open the trunk of your Nissan X Trail using the key fob in your pocket. It's worth giving it a try to see if it works. If the trunk is not opening, it's likely due to a weak or dead battery in your keyless entry fob. To fix this, replace the battery with a 3-volt compatible one. If that doesn't work, then you should check the fuse that controls the trunk latch release, inspect the wiring, and examine the button mechanism for any issues. Sometimes, if the trunk has not been used for a while, rust can cause it to stick, in which case using WD-40 can help loosen it up.

If the Xtrail's starter battery is running low, it seems that non-essential features like the electronic trunk opener are deactivated to conserve power. Taking the car for a long drive or charging the battery overnight will restore it to normal functioning.

Resolution for trunk problem. I own a 2018 X Trail and the trunk would only open by pressing the button on the trunk itself and manually lifting it up, same for closing. Despite trying multiple solutions without success, my mechanic was unable to resolve the issue. However, he managed to fix it by forcibly opening the trunk all the way and then closing it completely, which somehow reset the system. Following this, everything functioned flawlessly. Give this a try as it is a no-cost solution.
