What to Do When the Trunk of Baojun 730 Won't Open?
3 Answers
When the central control is locked, press and hold the middle button on the remote control for 2 seconds until you hear a 'bang-dang' sound, and the trunk will open. When the central control is unlocked, you can press the opening button located on the right side of the license plate light on the trunk door, and it will open with a single press.
As a seasoned auto mechanic, I've dealt with numerous trunk issues on the Baojun 730, where failure to open can stem from various causes. The most common scenario is debris jamming the rear door lock, such as accumulated dust or small stones stuck in the mechanical components. First, try manually turning the lock with the original key to gauge the resistance. If the electric button is unresponsive, it might be due to a depleted remote battery—replace it with a new CR2032 battery for testing. Occasionally, the electric control system may have a blown fuse; inspect the fuse box located near the driver's footwell. Cold weather causing freezing is also not uncommon; gently tap the edges of the trunk to thaw it. Avoid yanking forcefully, as this can damage the latch or motor, increasing repair costs. The Baojun 730's design often requires fully reclining the rear seats to unlock the trunk, so handle this step carefully. If DIY solutions don't work, promptly visit a 4S shop for professional diagnostics. Regularly applying silicone lubricant can extend the lock's lifespan. This approach saves unnecessary expenses and ensures peace of mind while driving.
As a Baojun 730 owner who has driven my car for two years, I've experienced the issue of the trunk not opening several times, which is quite a headache. I've noticed that many times it's due to the remote switch malfunctioning, possibly from poor button contact or a dead remote battery—replacing it with a new battery usually solves the problem. Once, the rear seats weren't folded properly and blocked the lock; repositioning them flat allowed the trunk to open smoothly. Gently push the trunk door to check if it's loose. If the electric button doesn't respond, try turning off and restarting the car. There's an emergency release handle inside the trunk for manual opening, located near the rear seats. If DIY fixes don't work, quickly take it to a repair shop before the lock fully breaks. Regularly clean the lock area to prevent dust buildup and avoid overloading to prevent jamming. These simple daily practices can help.
