What to Do When the Baojun 730 Trunk Won't Open?
3 Answers
If the Baojun 730 trunk won't open, you can press and hold the middle button on the remote control for 2 seconds while the central locking is engaged until you hear a "clunk" sound to open it. Below are specific details about the Baojun 730: 1. Interior: The new Baojun 730 automatic transmission features a brand-new black and gray interior color scheme, complemented by dark wood-grain imitation panels on the dashboard, ice-blue ambient lighting at night, and new dual-tone luxury seats. 2. Powertrain: The powertrain configuration includes a 1.5T turbocharged engine paired with a simulated 8-speed CVT transmission. The engine's rated power is 111kW, with a maximum net torque of 250N·m.
When I first opened the auto repair shop, I often encountered this issue. The Baojun 730's trunk not opening usually comes down to a few common culprits: most frequently, the tailgate lock mechanism gets jammed with debris, or the cable mechanism rusts and becomes stiff—you might hear clicking sounds when yanking hard, but the door just won't budge. Second, check the tailgate switch near the driver's seat; worn-out spring contacts can make it unresponsive when pressed. Another hidden issue is misalignment of the trunk latch due to long-term vibration, causing the lock tongue to miss the strike plate. I teach owners a quick fix—crouch under the driver's seat and pull the orange emergency release lever backward for a mechanical unlock. Last month, I fixed one where the lock motor had burned out, requiring a full assembly replacement. Remember, never force open plastic trim panels—the clips are extremely brittle.
I've been using my 730 for cargo transport for three years and encountered this issue twice. Don't rush to restart the car or test the electronic switch—first, focus on checking the remote key: see if it's been dropped (which weakens the signal) or if the spare key's battery is dead. The mechanical keyhole is located below the rear emblem. When inserting and turning it right, you need to simultaneously press down on the handle. If the car has been rear-ended, be extra cautious—the lock post might be deformed, preventing the door latch from engaging. Last time, someone in the car owner group fixed it by spraying WD-40 into the lock cylinder, but I'd advise against disassembling the lock mechanism yourself, as the springs inside can fly out. Finally, check if anything is stuck in the door gap—last time, my son's Ultraman card caused the door not to shut properly.
