What to Do When the Trunk of Wuling Hongguang S Won't Open?
2 Answers
Enter the trunk through the emergency escape hatch and manually unlock it by pulling the unlocking lever with your hand. The trunk may not open due to issues with the linkage rod or the lock cylinder. It is recommended that the owner use the emergency trunk release from the rear seats. Afterward, promptly visit a 4S shop or a professional repair shop to replace the lock cylinder or the lock rod.
I had a similar issue with my Wuling Hongguang S before - the trunk suddenly wouldn't open, which was really frustrating. Common causes could be a stuck latch or remote control failure. You can try using the physical key first, since S-model trunks often use mechanical locks to avoid body damage from forced pulling. Next, check the key remote: replace the battery if dead, or try moving away in case of signal interference. For electric components, it might be a blown fuse - look for number F15 or similar in the fuse box under the driver's seat and replace it. Lubricating the lock cylinder also helps - spray some anti-rust oil and wait a few minutes. Finally, check for debris blocking the trunk seam. If nothing works, don't force it - head to a repair shop immediately to avoid travel delays or bigger malfunctions.
