Default I can't open the boot using the button on the dashboard and on the lid

From day to day I can't open the boot. I open with the key, of course it works. And remote control too.
Only the buttons on the dashboard and on the boot (I replaced it with a new one) do not work. Boot could not be opened even with the old button.
The fuse and relay look fine.
Any idea or direction?
Thanks.

Hi Joe.
Many thanks, bingo.
I had the glove box outside, of course the wires weren't plugged into it.
After connecting, everything works as it should.
Many thanks again, I've been meaning to test the wires in the boot.
I have a new experience

Hi
Yes not having the glove box plugged in has the same effect of having the Valet switch pressed
glad its sorted
