CA Remote Trunk release not fully opening trunk

I had that same problem, I installed a Viper 5901 alarm with remote start recently and my aux switch for my trunk would "pop" (sound) but not fully release the trunk. I've look all over the forums, and yes the button to release the trunk on the glove box was "on". Other than replacing the whole assembly there was no solution... But, I sprayed some WD 40 and now its fully releasing the trunk o.O... I'm guessing the latch was not fully releasing because it was not fully lubricated to "unlatch" the trunk. lol whatever it works now, hopefully this helps others.
