What to Do When the Wuling Hongguang Trunk Won't Open?

Wuling Hongguang S trunk won't open: Try removing or folding down the rear seats and enter the trunk through the emergency escape hatch, then manually unlock it by pulling the release lever directly. The trunk may not open due to issues with the linkage rod or lock cylinder. After using the emergency access via the rear seats, it is recommended to visit a 4S shop or professional repair shop immediately to replace the lock cylinder or linkage rod. Reasons and solutions for Wuling Hongguang S trunk not opening: 1. Linkage rod or lock cylinder issue: If you frequently use the key to open the trunk, the linkage rod may be broken—visit a repair shop. If you usually use the remote control, the lock cylinder may be dirty or rusted; spraying rust remover into the lock cylinder several times can help open it. 2. Not unlocked: The trunk may be hard to open if not unlocked with the remote key. Before opening, press the unlock button on the key or check if the key battery is dead. Replace the battery if needed. 3. Mechanical part failure: The trunk itself may have issues, such as a broken wire or other problems preventing it from opening. Visit a 4S shop for replacement. 4. Five-door vehicles generally cannot be opened from inside: Some rugged off-road vehicles may not have an internal trunk switch to prevent accidental opening during driving, which could cause injuries. In such cases, the trunk can only be opened from the outside.

I've been driving for over a decade and have encountered situations where the Wuling Hongguang's trunk wouldn't open several times. First, check the remote key; if there's no response, it's likely the battery is dead—try replacing it with a new one. If the remote unlocks the doors but not the trunk, the trunk button might be faulty. For manual unlocking, look for the trunk release lever under the driver's seat mat or in the back seat—pulling it might do the trick. I once had a rusty lock, and a spray of WD-40 lubricant fixed it easily. Wuling cars are affordable and practical, but the trunk lock tends to accumulate dust and get wet, especially after the rainy season, leading to this common issue. Check for loose wiring yourself, but be careful not to tamper with the circuits. If all else fails, head to a professional repair shop promptly to avoid disrupting your daily errands. Don't forget to clean the lock area during car washes—prevention is key.

When the Wuling Hongguang's trunk won't open, common mechanical failures include stuck lock cylinders or electronic component failures. First, try inserting the spare mechanical key into the lock cylinder; if it won't turn, there may be internal rust or damage. For electronic versions, check the remote signal and try replacing the battery to see if it improves. Loose wiring connections are a frequent issue, especially with cables in frequently opened rear doors that are prone to wear. I once fixed a controller module failure that caused unstable current, but it's recommended to seek a technician's help before testing voltage with a multimeter. While the vehicle is economical, its locking system has a simple design and is prone to aging due to environmental factors. Address issues early to avoid chain reactions like anti-theft failures or electrical system complications. Remember to document the symptoms for accurate troubleshooting during repairs.

As a new driver, my Wuling Hongguang's trunk won't open, so I'll take it step by step: first try using the mechanical key in the lock slot, if that doesn't work, check and replace the remote battery. If the trunk button is stuck, lubricate the hinges or gently push and pull the trunk lid. If it still won't open, I'll directly contact the 4S store for help. Wuling cars are affordable, but with prolonged use, the locks may become stiff—avoid pulling hard to prevent further damage. Park in dry areas and regularly clean dust around the locks. Safety first, don't fiddle with it by the roadside.
