Trunk opening
01 xj8 if I use the key it opens every time perfectly if I try to open using an electronic means I might have to try two or three times for it to open especially if it's been a little while since last time using the trunk..I tried spraying some wd40 on the latch with no affect... Everytime I use an electronic means I can definitely hear the actuator even though it might not open... Is the actuator getting tired and not pulling all the way?? Any thoughts??

Attached is a copy of the blow up for the trunk lock assembly. Most likely Pc# 12 has worn where it engages the actuator and the release. Unfortunately there are no bushiings so it is metal on metal With the blow up you can get a pretty good idea as to what is hiding behind the plastic cover.
Mine did the same thing and Pc# 12 was almost worn thru and the actuator had a good size groove started.
