What causes the Baojun 510 trunk to not open?
2 Answers
There are several reasons why the Baojun 510 trunk may not open: 1. The trunk door may be blocked or stuck. 2. There may be aging or breakage issues in the internal mechanical structure. Below is an introduction to the trunk: 1. The basic structure of the trunk consists of two core shaft drive rods. The drive rod, through the main shaft drive, is composed of an inner tube and an outer tube, where the motor and gears inside the inner tube drive a threaded main shaft that moves along a threaded nut fixed to the inner side of the outer tube. 2. The electric strut uses an electric main shaft located inside the motor within the strut to open and close the trunk lid, with springs also assisting in the lid opening operation.
I've been an auto mechanic for over a decade and handled numerous cases of Baojun 510 trunk malfunctions. The most common issue is a jammed tailgate lock – dust or rust gets inside, making the lock cylinder immobile. You can feel the stiffness when turning the key. Next are wiring problems: oxidized connectors in aging wire harnesses blocking current flow, or water-induced short circuits during rainy days that directly disable the control circuit. Blown fuses are also frequent – the trunk switch-related fuse sits inconspicuously in the fuse box and often burns out due to overload. I've also encountered rusted hinges jamming the door, requiring lubricant spray to loosen. Quick tips: first try opening with the mechanical key; if that fails, check/replace the fuse, then use a multimeter to test circuit continuity. Never force it open – you risk paint scratches or structural damage. While these are generally simple fixes, prolonged neglect can lead to major complications.
