Where is the general car trunk switch located?

The trunk button is usually located on the door next to the driver's seat or on the smart key. Reasons why the trunk won't close: 1. Foreign objects blocking the trunk latch: When there are foreign objects in the trunk latch groove, it naturally won't close. Simply clean the latch groove. 2. Damaged trunk lock hook: If the trunk lock hook is damaged and deformed, it will block the trunk latch groove, preventing closure. In this case, the trunk lock hook needs to be repaired or replaced with a new part if necessary. 3. Overly stiff spring rod: An overly stiff spring rod can create excessive pressure when closing the trunk, making it impossible to close. In this situation, replace the spring rod with one of moderate stiffness. 4. Forgetting to take out the car key: Some cars, for the safety of occupants, won't allow the doors or trunk to close if the car key isn't taken outside the vehicle.
I've been driving my own car for several years, and the trunk release really depends on the model. The most common method is the button on the car key—just press it lightly to unlock, super convenient. Inside the car, the location varies widely: some cars integrate it into the driver’s door control panel with a small trunk icon button; press it once to open. SUVs often have an external button at the bottom of the tailgate, making loading and unloading easier; last time I went on a trip and forgot my keys, this feature saved me. Other models might have an internal lever near the seat or a floor slot—just pull to unlock. The designs vary due to safety considerations: preventing accidental activation by kids or theft. For newcomers, I recommend checking the manual or video tutorials if you run into issues, unlike me who wasted half an hour fumbling around during a test drive.
