Mazda 3 2010 manual transmission unlocking trunk problem?

[Ps3alltheway]

Whenever I want to unlock my trunk I have to turn off my car , no matter how often i'll press unlock it wont .
I know on Automatic versions , when you put the car on ''park'' everything will unlock .
Just wondering if this is a common problem or something !

do you need to use a key to open the trunk if its not working with the key fob or inside the vehicle? if so check inside the trunk as i would bet dollars to doughnuts you have fliped the safety tab.

U need to pull the handbrake to open the trunk while the engine is on.

I always pull the handbrake

if the ebrake is up, and the safety lock is not on inside the trunk if the doors unlock and the trunk does not open, it could need a key fob, or a cable at worst but take it to a dealer to be looked at if you are still under your 3 year 80,000 km warranty. it should be covered without issue.
