The solutions for the trunk of Wuling Hongguang S3 not opening are as follows: 1. Remove the interior trim panel of the trunk: The trim panel is secured by clips, and releasing the clips will allow you to remove the trunk's interior trim panel. 2. Remove the screws and clips on the back of the rear tailgate. 3. After removing the fixing method of the rear tailgate switch trim panel, you can see that the switch core is disconnected. 4. Once the switch core is disconnected, you can see the locking mechanism of the trunk. Gently pull the locking mechanism by hand to open the trunk. The reasons why the trunk of Wuling Hongguang S3 cannot be opened are as follows: 1. Usually using the key to open the trunk: The linkage rod is broken. 2. Usually using the remote control to open the trunk: The lock cylinder is dirty or rusty.
I've encountered this issue several times, and my repair experience tells me that the inability to open the Wuling Hongguang S3's trunk is mostly due to a few common faults. If the remote lock fails, first check the key battery—when the battery is dead, the trunk can't sense the signal. It's particularly common for the manual keyhole to get clogged with dust, especially on vehicles frequently driven on construction sites. A few sprays of WD-40 rust remover into the lock cylinder usually solves the problem. There's also a small detail many overlook: the child safety lock switch on the inner wall of the tailgate. If accidentally triggered, no amount of force from the outside will open it. If items in the car are packed too tightly against the tailgate, it's best to have someone press down on the rear bumper while unlocking. Lastly, there's the issue of oxidized wiring connectors—after the rainy season, plugs often have poor contact, requiring the interior panels to be removed to reconnect the wiring. If all else fails, you'll need to visit a 4S shop to replace the lock assembly, which typically costs around 200-300 yuan.
