Common reasons why the trunk cannot be opened include damaged or broken linkage rods, rusted lock core components, low battery power in the remote key, and a malfunctioning component of the trunk lock.
To address these issues, a series of steps can be taken. First, check if there are any faults with the linkage rods and lock core. If there are problems with the linkage rods, they need to be repaired or replaced. If the lock core is rusted, try spraying rust remover to resolve the issue. Through these operations, the linkage rods and lock core can be restored to normal operation.
Secondly, attention should be paid to the remote key. Ensure that the remote key has sufficient battery power, as insufficient power may prevent the trunk from opening. Before attempting to open the trunk, press the open button on the remote key, then try to open the trunk. This simple step can help to rule out the possibility of low battery power.
If the above methods are ineffective, it may be a problem with the trunk itself. In this case, you can visit a repair shop to have the trunk inspected or damaged parts replaced. If unable to visit a repair shop in an emergency, you can also use the emergency switch inside the car to open the trunk. Additionally, you can contact a professional locksmith company, as they can send someone to assist in opening the trunk.
