What to do if your trunk wont open?
Tonight, I tried opening the trunk with the remote, the trunk latch on the trunk itself and the door switch, to no avail. I tried with the car turned on, car turned off, I tried cycling the alarm on/off a few times and confirmed the fuse is not blown.
Why is my trunk lock not working properly?
One of the major issues that can occur with this device is that the motor will work, but the locking mechanism does not. A locking mechanism has multiple components inside the actuator; one of which is a linkage system that manually moves the lock to the open position when the actuator is activated.
Why does my boot open when I open the trunk?
Short or open somewhere probably. Either in switch which is most likely incorporated in latch assembly (new latch coming up) or possibly the wiring loom at the trunk hinge area, the harnesses have a tendency to crack wires inside them under the boot covering from all the repeat flexing as trunk opened over and over.
Why does my car trunk not open when I open the door?
Not a valet button problem and no remote or switch activation, but could open with the button on the lid as long as the doors were unlocked. It turned out to be a module that had to be replaced, and both key fobs had to be reprogrammed. I’ve seen a couple instances of people mentioning that this happened after battery disconnect.
