What does 'boot open' mean in a car?
1 Answers
It indicates that the trunk is not properly closed. Below are the reasons and solutions for a trunk that won't open: 1. Linkage rod or lock cylinder issue: If you frequently use a key to open the trunk, the linkage rod may be broken—visit a repair shop to fix it. If you usually use a remote control to open the trunk, the lock cylinder might be dirty or rusted; spraying a rust remover into the lock cylinder a few times can help open it. 2. Not unlocked: The trunk is difficult to open because it hasn't been unlocked with the remote key. Before attempting to open it, press the unlock button on the key or check if the key's battery is dead. 3. Mechanical part failure: The trunk itself may have issues, such as a broken wire or other problems causing it not to open.
