The reasons why the trunk cannot be opened: 1. Linkage rod or lock cylinder problem. If you often use the key to open the trunk lid, it means the linkage rod is broken and needs to be repaired at a repair shop; 2. If you always use the remote control to open the trunk lid, it means the lock cylinder is dirty or rusty. Spray a rust remover into the lock cylinder a few times to open it; 3. Mechanical part failure or problems with the trunk itself, such as a broken trunk wire or other trunk-related issues causing the car trunk to fail to open; 4. Generally, five-door cars cannot be opened from the inside. For example, some hardcore off-road vehicles do not have a trunk switch to prevent accidental activation during driving, which could cause injuries, so the trunk can only be opened from the outside.

It's quite annoying when the trunk won't open. I think the most common issues are the lock getting stuck or rusted, which tends to happen with frequent opening and closing. Additionally, if the car is electric, electrical faults can cause the switch to malfunction, such as a blown fuse or a short circuit, so it's necessary to check the fuse box. Also, if the remote key's battery is dead or there's signal interference, pressing the button won't work. I once encountered a situation in winter when the cold weather froze the latch, and I had to use warm air to thaw it. Don't underestimate this problem—if you're carrying something important and need it urgently, you should learn manual unlocking techniques, like some cars have an emergency pull ring inside the trunk. Regular inspection of the lock mechanism and wiring maintenance can help prevent these issues.

When encountering a trunk that won't open, the issue usually lies in the electronic system. Many modern cars feature intelligent controls, and the electric motor or sensors may have malfunctioned. Possible causes include insufficient power due to low battery voltage, software errors in the door module requiring a reset, or poor wiring connections leading to signal interruption. Remember to check if the remote is properly aligned, as excessive interference can also be a problem. I once resolved a malfunctioning mobile app control by restarting the vehicle. For safety, if the trunk remains stuck, avoid forcing it open as this could damage the body or trigger safety mechanisms. It's advisable to visit a professional shop for a circuit diagnosis and to check for loose connection plugs.

The reasons for a trunk not opening can be quite simple, such as objects stuck near the latch going unnoticed, or the key fob running out of battery. Mechanical issues like a rusty lock cylinder or worn components can cause stiffness when opening. If the vehicle is parked on uneven ground, chassis deformation may also affect it. Personally, I prefer trying the manual keyhole first to avoid relying on the remote. Additionally, accumulated dust in the lock mechanism should be cleaned out.
