Why does the Magotan's trunk make a buzzing sound and won't open?
2 Answers
The reasons why the Magotan's trunk won't open include improper operation, damaged control box, or wiring failure. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Improper operation: Incorrect operation may cause the tailgate to fail to open. For example, some electric tailgates may require shifting to P gear, turning off the engine, and unlocking the doors before opening. Some tailgates may malfunction or enter a memory learning state if the button is pressed for too long during operation. 2. Damaged control box: Issues with the control box, which serves as the 'computer' control center for the electric tailgate, may prevent it from receiving switch commands, resulting in the tailgate failing to open. 3. Wiring failure: Faults in power lines, control lines, or adapter lines may cause disconnection, leading to a lack of power or signal and preventing the tailgate from opening.
My old Magotan also had this issue before - pressing the trunk button got no response, just an annoying buzzing sound. After inspection, the problem turned out to be with the lock block motor, likely due to poor wire contact or gear jamming. I tried manually opening the trunk using the emergency release cable inside the car and noticed obvious friction noise from the motor area when the lid popped open. Later found leaves stuck in the guide channel after removing the trim panel - the excessive resistance caused the motor to vibrate. Never force the handle in such cases as it may deform the latch. Recommend trying mechanical unlocking with the key first. If that fails, inspect the entire lock assembly. DIYers should disconnect the negative battery terminal first and handle those delicate cable connectors gently during disassembly.
