I have a 2006 (6/05 build) E 320 CDI.

I placed two crates in the trunk 10 # and 35 # respectively, and now the deck lid will not release unless I use the key. The 10# crate was placed on the driver's side and all the way forward. The 35# crate was placed next to it ( in the center of the trunk) and all the way forward.

The manual release will not work unless I use the key, the electronic release. both on the key and in the driver door will not function now.

I believe it is caused by a fuse. a relay or a broken wire?

I have checked most of the fuses from the trunk up to the left side of the dashboard area and they appear to be good. I cannot find a fuse or relay diagram that labels the failed electronics I am experiencing related to the deck lid.

Help would be appreciated!
