The reasons why the trunk of the Cruze cannot be opened: it may be that the trunk switch is broken or the trunk lock block is faulty. You can press and hold the remote control. If the trunk can be opened, it means the trunk switch is broken. If you press and hold the remote control and only hear a clicking sound but the trunk still cannot be opened, it may indicate that the trunk lock is broken. The reason for the trunk switch failure may be due to corrosion from rainwater at the switch location. In this case, the only solution is to replace the trunk lock switch. The Cruze is a compact sedan under the Chevrolet brand, with body dimensions of 4666mm in length, 1807mm in width, and 1460mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm.
As a car enthusiast, I often encounter situations where the Cruze's trunk won't open. Most of the time, it's due to mechanical lock or cable issues, such as the key getting stuck or the connecting rod breaking, causing the pull cable to malfunction. It could also be a faulty electronic actuator – if the car is older, the trunk button or remote lock is prone to wear. Another common issue is the safety lock mechanism; accidentally triggering the child lock can cause it to lock up. When helping a friend inspect their car, I once found that body deformation was squeezing the lock mechanism, which was also a cause. During routine maintenance, pay attention to lubrication and cleaning to avoid dust buildup. If you need urgent access, try entering through the back seat to inspect, but it's best to have it handled by a professional shop to prevent damage to the electrical circuits.
