Where is the trunk switch on the Wrangler?
2 Answers
The trunk switch on the Wrangler is the mechanical handle on the door. The main reasons why the car trunk cannot be opened are as follows: 1. Linkage rod or lock cylinder issue. If you often use the key to open the trunk, the linkage rod may be damaged, and you should go to a repair shop to fix it. If you always use the remote control to open the trunk, the lock cylinder may be dirty or rusty. Spraying rust remover into the lock cylinder a few times can help open it. 2. Not unlocked. The trunk is difficult to open because it hasn't been unlocked with the remote key. Before opening, it's best to press the unlock button on the key or check if the key battery is dead. 3. Mechanical part failure. The trunk itself may have problems, such as a broken wire or other issues causing the trunk not to open.
I've been driving a Wrangler for a while, and the trunk switch is quite noticeable. The large handle right in the center of the tailgate is the main switch—just pull it to open. There's also a button on the key fob; hold down the one with the Jeep logo for three seconds, and the trunk will pop open automatically. The newer models have an electronic button on the left side of the dashboard—press it to open too. Remember, post-2018 models have an emergency pull ring inside the tailgate in case of a dead battery. The switch placement is very user-friendly—no need to bend down to find it.
