What Are the Reasons Why a Car Trunk Won't Open?

[SanZachary]

Reasons why a car trunk won't open include: 1. Linkage rod or lock cylinder issue: If you frequently use a key to open the trunk, the linkage rod may be broken, and you should go to a repair shop. If you always use a remote control to open the trunk, the lock cylinder may be dirty or rusted; spraying rust remover into the lock cylinder a few times can help open it. 2. Not unlocked: If the trunk isn't unlocked with the remote key, it can be difficult to open. Before attempting to open it, it's best to 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 preventing it from opening. 4. Five-door cars generally cannot be opened from the inside: Some rugged off-road vehicles, to prevent accidental opening while driving which could cause injuries, typically do not have an interior trunk switch, so the trunk can only be opened from the outside.
