What to Do When the Peugeot 307 Trunk Won't Open?
2 Answers
The reasons why the Peugeot 307 trunk won't open include: linkage rod or lock core issues, mechanical component failure, or wiring faults. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair. Regarding the methods to open the trunk, here are a few points: 1. Remote control method: Using the key remote is the most direct and simplest way to open the trunk, and it is also the most common method. 2. Interior button: Next to the window inside the car, designed similarly to the window control buttons, there is also a button to open the trunk. This allows the owner to open the trunk conveniently without getting out of the car. 3. Foot kick method: This utilizes the radar sensor under the trunk. As long as the foot is detected in the radar sensing area, the trunk can be opened directly.
I've always enjoyed studying automotive mechanical issues. When encountering a situation where the Peugeot 307's trunk won't open, the most common causes are either a stuck trunk lock mechanism or remote control failure. First, try manual unlocking: repeatedly turn the key in the lock cylinder. Sometimes dust or rust can cause the lock core to jam, and a gentle pry or some lubricant spray can free it. Secondly, check the remote key's battery - if it's dead, replace it; new batteries cost just a few dollars. For remote signal issues, try pressing the button at close range or reprogram the key. Electrical faults are also common - the trunk fuse is located in the fuse box under the steering wheel. Check fuse F18 or related positions to see if it's blown, and simply replacing the fuse can solve the problem. If you can't fix it yourself, don't force it - take it to a professional shop immediately to check the motor or wiring harness to avoid making things worse. Regular maintenance is key: periodically clean the lock slot and apply silicone grease for lubrication to prevent issues before they arise. Driving safety should always come first.
