My trunk can not be opened by the button in the glove box or the the keyless remote. The fuel door button in the glove box does work, I can not find a fuse that is indicated for this use. Also, all other functions of the key fob work.

Sounds like a trunk release solenoid may be at fault. The fact that the fuel door releases doesn't lead me to your valet switch, but check it anyway. If you know your way around a 12v test light, locate the solenoid connector(2 wire) in the trunk lid at the latch. Bridge the two wires with the test light and press the button. If it lights, you need a solenoid. A voltmeter will work as well, press button, see 12 volts, same result.
