Reasons Why the Trunk of BMW 7 Series Won't Open?
2 Answers
Possible reasons include a disconnected linkage rod, which requires repair at a 4S shop. If the lock cylinder is dirty or rusty, spraying rust remover into the lock cylinder a few times may help open it. Here are the detailed explanations: Unlocking Techniques: The trunk switch on the A-pillar inside the car can open the trunk when the car is parked, provided the trunk is not locked. Press and hold the trunk unlock button on the key for more than 2 seconds. Press the open switch at the trunk. Use the mechanical teeth of the key to open it directly. Precautions: When the trunk is heavily loaded, fuel consumption will also increase. Do not place flammable or explosive items in the trunk, as high temperatures or accidental fires can cause instant combustion, leading to unimaginable consequences. Storing perishable items in the trunk can make it difficult to eliminate odors inside the car. It is best not to place valuables in the car to prevent loss.
I've encountered the issue of the BMW 7 Series trunk not opening several times. As a young car owner, I believe the problem often lies in electronic component failures. For example, when the battery in the remote key has been used for a long time and its power is insufficient, pressing the button may not send a signal to open the trunk. Sometimes, after a software update, the control module in the car may develop bugs or conflicts, requiring a reprogramming at the 4S store. There are also cases where a fuse blows on the circuit board, cutting off the current and preventing operation. Once, when I was in a hurry to go out, the trunk wouldn't open no matter what I tried. I attempted using the mechanical keyhole at the rear of the car, but that didn't work either. It turned out to be a module glitch. As a temporary solution, I had to manually climb in from the back seat to pull the emergency release lever, but BMW's compact body design doesn't always make this easy. It's advisable to replace the key battery and check the system every six months to avoid embarrassing situations like being locked out unexpectedly.
