What are the reasons why the Chery Tiggo 3 trunk cannot be opened?
3 Answers
The Chery Tiggo 3 trunk may not open due to issues with the linkage rod or lock cylinder; it may not be unlocked; or there could be a mechanical component failure. Solutions: If you frequently use the key to open the trunk, the linkage rod may be broken, and you should go to a repair shop to have it opened. If you always use the remote control to open the trunk, the lock cylinder may be dirty or rusty. Spraying a rust remover into the lock cylinder a few times can help open it. If the remote key is not used to unlock the trunk, it may be difficult to open. Before attempting to open it, it is best to press the unlock button on the key or check if the key battery is dead. If the trunk itself is faulty, such as a broken wire or other trunk-related issues, it may cause the trunk to not open. Chery Tiggo 3 trunk dimensions: The dimensions of the Chery Tiggo 3 trunk are similar to those of the gasoline version, with a height of 530 mm to 850 mm, a width of 820 mm to 1180 mm, and a depth/length of 740 mm to 1450 mm.
I've encountered the issue of the trunk not opening several times with my Chery Tiggo 3, and the reasons are actually quite varied. The most common one is the latch getting stuck due to dust or rust, which happens especially often when I park outdoors for long periods, as the car is prone to rusting in humid environments. Another issue is the remote key battery running out of power—I've tried replacing it with a new one, and that fixed the problem. Additionally, for electric trunks, a blown fuse or a short circuit in the wiring can cause the button to stop responding. Sometimes, deformed hinges or damaged rods can also be the culprit, possibly due to excessive loading over time. I recommend first doing a simple check on the battery or trying to manually unlock and shake the latch to see if it's loose. Avoid using excessive force to pull it, as that might damage the lock mechanism. It's best to regularly clean and lubricate the latch to prevent rust. If the issue persists, it's advisable to seek professional repair services promptly to avoid compromising driving safety.
There are many reasons why the Tiggo 3's trunk won't open, and I've encountered similar cases in my repair experience. The main issues are mechanical failures such as a stuck lock cylinder or broken cable, which often occur in aging vehicles or those lacking maintenance. Electrical problems shouldn't be ignored either—for example, a malfunctioning trunk button could be due to a blown fuse or remote signal interference. For electric doors, motor damage or control module failure can also prevent opening. Dead key fob batteries are the most common issue, especially when the battery is old and low on power. For troubleshooting, first check the battery and simple mechanisms, then try manual operation to see if it can be unlocked. Avoid forcing it open to prevent further damage. Regular maintenance like lubricating the latch can reduce the likelihood of such problems, as daily usage habits are also crucial.
