My neighbor just called and said his Optima battery was dead and he couldn't get to the battery in the trunk. I managed to find your video, walked over to his place and opened the trunk! Very helpful . . . thanks for posting this.
I wholeheartedly add my sincere thanks too. I called my dealership first for help. They told me that all i need to do was to boost the battery via the fuse box under the hood and that the Owner's Manual would tell me the specifics on how/where to do this. Well, guess what? The manual was ZERO help; BUT this video was a DEFINITE HELP. Thanks again
Bro you sir are my hero. Car got flooded and trying to fix it currently. No battery power whatsoever. Never would have found that trunk release. You are appreciated 💪🏾
Your video was a God-Send! I pray for you and your family to be blessed as many times over as your video has BEEN a blessing. And then be blessed over and over again!
Yes indeed may the Lord Bless you. This video save my boyfriend today. His battery died and yep we could not open the trunk... your video saved us. Thank you sir be blessed.
I just want to say THANK YOU!!!! You saved me from breaking my back seat to be able to get in the trunk! I left my keys in the trunk,and my car got locked! I had to call someone to unlock it but couldn't open the trunk 🥴 thank's to your video i didn't do what i was planning on doing, so THANK YOU again!
You are heaven sent. I’m a female with multiple males clueless and you helped me tremendously. It was about to rain and my windows were down. In a desperate attempt I found your video. Thank you soo much!!
OMG thank you soooooooo much!!! I haven’t been able to open my trunk for 3 years because the damn electric thing broke. I can’t wait to see what’s been moving around back there driving me crazy.
Thank you sooooo much for posting this video. It was a life saver. My Kia is a 2012 and there was no little cover over the wire in the back. However there was a wire to pull and release the trunk.
Oh my gosh I love you ❤️❤️❤️ my car is sitting in the dealer waiting for a new motor, all of my camping gear and clothes in the trunk with it!!! Couldn't get it open after the breakdown on the highway!!! Thank you so much for posting this!
Best video ever!!!!!!! That is the most ridiculous thing to have the seat release in the trunk and the battery in the trunk. Thanks for your video this was a life saver!!!!
Dude heeeck yes!!!! Thanks!!! I had a locked my keys in the truck.. had a locksmith open my car door all to find out a certain safety mechanism shuts off all electrical when the door is popped! No way to open the truck... so I let TH-cam play 2 videos that led me to yours!! Wooohoo!!
Good video. I had an Optima with a dead battery and a jump starter in the trunk. I gave up my man-card and read the owners manual to find the release before checking youtube. About 30 minutes of charging the battery from a 3 amp trickle charger was enough juice to pop the trunk electrically.
MANY THANKS!! saved me with this, was at costco earlier, put some items in trunk.. get home and trunk refuses to open...... was aggravating to say the least as the items would have froze rendering a waste..
You saved Christmas lol. It’s Christmas Day and we needed to hit the road to Ohio from Georgia. I drive a Hybrid so I can’t even jump my battery off without getting into the trunk. Many thanks 🙏🏻
Thanks man! I have an Optima and things like this are great to know before hand! Funny, ive owned the car for 2 years now and never even noticed that tab behind the seat... i noticed the ones farther up, which i thought were to pull the seat down, but much to my shock they are released from the...trunk. That's kind of stupid if you ask me.
Thanks man !!! I have Kia 2012optima my car doesn’t open the trunk but yes work and drive but not open until see you video And release the rope And open but to fix the problem I check the fuse what was inside of the car where say “ trunk “ and yes !!! It was the fuse #10 Thanks
I just tried to get inside my car and open the trunk... no power whatsoever 😕 thanks to your video, I can wait until morning to call Roadside for a jump-start. I guess it's time for a new battery now.
THANK YOOOOUU BUDDY!!! IBHAD MY WHOLE BA K SEAT RIPPED OUT ETC... locked keys in trunk in my 2012 KIA OPTIMA!🤦♂️ 3+ hours & I said let me try Google it / TH-cam & found this man Thanks again! & stupidest think to have seat release in trunk to fold seats down, smfh!!! But thanks again
Sad if this is not push button start but if it was a push button start but the key fob battery was dead and the inside light was dead just insert the key fob on the passenger glove
dude, you were born to save us in times of desperation. Thanks a lot.
I'll try to keep it up
5 years later and you're still saving lives!!! Thanks! 😁

It is directly behind the rear head rest on the drivers side on 2011 - 2014 kia optimas outside of those years I'm not sure where its at
Awesome!!! Thanks man

Sad if this is not push button start but if it was a push button start but the key fob battery was dead and the inside light was dead just insert the key fob on the passenger glove
How do I get that piece off?? Its so tight?
Brute force and cussing!
