In most car models, there is a small slot inside the trunk. You can use a key or another sharp object to pry open the outer shell. If you frequently use a key to open the trunk lid, it might be due to a broken linkage rod, and you should go to a repair shop to have it opened. If you always use a remote control to open the trunk lid, the trunk itself might have issues, such as a broken wire, and you need to go to a repair shop or a 4S store for repairs. If you haven't used the remote key to unlock the trunk, it will naturally be very difficult to open. After unlocking, you can open it.

If the trunk of my Cadillac suddenly won't open, I'll stay calm and check step by step. First, try the remote key—it might be a dead battery or signal interference, so replace it with a new one to see if it works. If that doesn't help, use the physical key to manually turn the lock cylinder—Cadillac's lock cylinders are usually located under the trunk lid or on the steering wheel side, so don't miss them. Next, look for the trunk release button inside the cabin, typically near the driver's seat or the inner trunk lever, and give it a pull. If it still won't open, check the fuse box, usually located in the front engine compartment or under the driver's seat; the trunk circuit fuse for Cadillacs is often 15 or 20 amps—replace it if blown. Lastly, consider a faulty lock mechanism or disconnected linkage—don't force it open to avoid damaging the paint, and instead call the 4S dealership to send a technician. Remember, trunks often hold important items, so if it gets stuck on the road, prioritize safety and pull over.

When I encountered a situation where the Cadillac trunk wouldn't open, the first thing that came to mind was common issues. For example, electronic lock failure might be caused by low vehicle battery power affecting the remote function—I tried jump-starting the car to see if it would restore functionality. After multiple failed attempts with the remote buttons, I switched to manual methods: using the spare key for physical unlocking while checking for obstructions like luggage straps or dust buildup around the trunk edges. Additionally, some Cadillac models have issues with false triggers of the anti-theft system—I restarted the engine or waited a few minutes before trying again. Preventive measures are also crucial: regularly cleaning the lock mechanism and lubricating hinges to prevent jamming; in cold weather, ice blockage is a common cause, so gently heating the lock area with a hairdryer can help thaw it. In short, don’t panic—these tips have saved me a lot of time. If all else fails, just contact a service center.
