What are the reasons why the Malibu trunk cannot be opened?

[AxelAnn]

The Malibu trunk may not open due to issues with the linkage rod or lock cylinder. Below are specific explanations for car trunk switch operations: 1. Remote key fob from outside the vehicle: The most common method to open the trunk from outside is via the remote key fob. Simply press the trunk release button (usually marked with a car trunk icon) on the key fob. Some vehicle models without a dedicated trunk button can unlock the trunk by pressing the general unlock key. 2. Interior control switches: Interior trunk release mechanisms include button-type and lever-type. Button locations vary by manufacturer and model, typically found on the left side of the steering wheel or central control area. For example, the Sagitar's trunk button is usually located on the door panel. Some models use a lever mechanism instead, generally positioned on the lower left side of the driver's seat or steering wheel.
