What Are the Reasons for the Manual Trunk Not Opening?

[KennedyMarie]

Reasons for the manual trunk not opening are: 1. Linkage rod or lock cylinder issue: If the trunk is frequently opened with a key, the linkage rod may be broken. Visit a repair shop to get it fixed; 2. Not unlocked: The trunk may be difficult to open if it hasn't been unlocked with the remote key. Before opening, press the unlock button on the key or check if the key battery is dead; 3. Mechanical part failure: The trunk itself may have issues, such as a broken wire or other problems causing it not to open; 4. Five-door vehicles generally cannot be opened from inside: Some rugged off-road vehicles, to prevent accidental opening while driving, which could cause injuries or fatalities, usually do not have an internal trunk release. Therefore, the trunk can only be opened from outside.
