BMW: 95 525i, carpeting, doors

Question
The problem is that when you lock the doors, the trunk unlocks. You then have to lock the trunk manually with the keys. I don't understand why the trunk doesn't lock with the doors like most cars.

Answer
Harry,
 This is probably a simple fix.  There are electric servo's on each door/trunk.  When you lock one, the computer sends a signal to these servo's to lock them all electronically.  Apparently the Trunk's servo is malfuntioning.  Just open the trunk and pull back the panel/carpeting covering where the lock would be.  There should be a little box in there that has wires running out of it... this will be the box that is malfunctioning.  Test it and/or replace it.
 Hope this helps,
