If the trunk of a Ford EcoSport won't open, it is likely due to a malfunction in the trunk unlock switch. In such cases, you can use the emergency release switch located inside the trunk to open it. This switch is positioned inside the trunk and can be accessed by entering through the rear seats of the vehicle. Below are the common reasons and solutions for a trunk that won't open: 1. Linkage rod or lock cylinder issue: If you frequently use the key to open the trunk, the linkage rod might be broken, requiring a visit to a repair shop. If you usually use the remote control to open the trunk, the lock cylinder might be dirty or rusted. Spraying rust remover into the lock cylinder a few times can help open it. 2. Not unlocked: The trunk may be difficult to open if 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 battery is dead. 3. Mechanical component failure: The trunk itself may have issues, such as a broken wire or other internal problems causing it to not open.
