What to Do If the Trunk Lock Won't Open?

[RyanRose]

Solutions for a trunk lock that won't open: 1. If you frequently use the key to open the trunk, the linkage rod may be broken—take it to a repair shop to open the trunk. 2. If you always use the remote control to open the trunk, the lock cylinder may be dirty or rusted—spray some rust remover into the lock cylinder a few times to open it. 3. If the remote key isn't used to unlock the trunk, it may be difficult to open—press the unlock button on the key first or check if the key battery is dead. 4. Mechanical failure of the trunk itself, such as a broken wire or other issues, may also prevent the trunk from opening.
