Inspect the trunk lock: Check if there is any visible damage or obstructions in the trunk lock that may be preventing it from opening.
Use the key: Insert the key into the trunk lock and turn it in both directions to see if it unlocks.
Try the trunk release lever: Pull the trunk release lever located inside the car, usually near the driver's seat, and check if the trunk opens.
Wiggle the trunk: Gently shake or wiggle the trunk lid while trying to operate the trunk release lever or key to see if it helps dislodge any obstructions.
Check for electrical issues: If the trunk release lever or key is not working, check for any electrical issues, such as a blown fuse, that may be preventing power from reaching the trunk release mechanism.
Emergency trunk release: If the above methods fail, there is usually an emergency trunk release mechanism in the form of a cable or lever located inside the trunk. Consult your vehicle manual for the specific location and instructions to access this release.
If none of these methods work, it is best to seek assistance from a professional locksmith or mechanic to avoid damaging the trunk or its mechanism.
