Here's what you should do:
1. Check the fuses: Locate your owner's manual. It will show you the fuse box location (usually under the hood and sometimes in the passenger compartment) and a fuse diagram. Identify the fuses for the trunk release and interior lights. Replace any blown fuses with fuses of the *same amperage*.
2. Check the trunk switch: If the fuses are okay, the problem might be with the trunk release switch itself (either the button inside the car or the key fob switch). Try the key fob again, making sure the battery is good.
3. Try the key: If your Chrysler 300C has a key that can unlock the trunk separately, try using that.
4. Emergency Release (If applicable): Some cars have a small emergency release lever or cable in the trunk itself, usually accessible through a small opening in the rear seat back or side panel (check your owner's manual). However, this is not a standard feature on all 300Cs.
5. Call a locksmith or roadside assistance: If you can't find the emergency release and none of the above steps work, contacting a professional locksmith or roadside assistance is your best bet. They have tools and expertise to open your trunk without damaging your vehicle.
Important Note: Before attempting anything drastic like forcing the trunk open, ensure you've checked all the simple things first. Forcing it can cause damage.
