How do i get the trunk to close when it sometime works
If the trunk on a Honda Civic will not close the locking mechanism may be jammed. Be sure to remove any obstructions on inside the trunk latch. If the latch is broken replace it.
To fix a trunk latch that is stuck open, the teeth on the lock may have to be adjusted so the trunk will close. It is also possible that the cable for the trunk latch is broken. To fix the gas cap door latch may require a little bending and adjusting with a pair of pliers.
You probably just need to fix the latch. There are some repair shops and locksmiths that specialize in car trunk locks.
It is possible the trunk latch has been tripped with trunk up. Use your key fob/remote trunk release on inside and pop trunk. Now try and close. Please let me know if this helps.
on the trunk latch theirs a little clip, its stuck down and should be up
The other day I tossed my golf bag into the truck of my Lexus LS 430 and shut the truck. As it closed I notice my golf bag strap was looped around the latch and as the I heard the actuator pull the truck down it sounded funny. I tried to open in and the actuator would release but the truck would not open. Now the key nor the truck button so anything. The truck is closed and will not open. What should I do?
Something is wrong with my 1991 Toyota Corolla Dx's trunk latch. It will not let me close the lid shut and it stay shut. It will not stay latched. There is nothing no obstruction. Can you help me? Thanks
put your key in the ignition turn it on , have someone push the trunk button while pulling up on the trunk catch
On Mine, which is a 97 mazda 626, there is a yellow plastic piece inside the trunk part of the latch that wears off. Therfore, the piece of metal that the trunk latches to, has nothing to hold onto. Check yours, you will probably see that it's worn it's edge off.
Sounds like you have the same problem I have. I have to tie my trunk closed with a ratchet tie, because the motorized system kept failing and I did not want to keep spending the money on new replacement motors. Then the trunk finally wouldn't close at all and I have been trying to find a trunk lock so the trunk fits into it, but no luck online, so I will try and find at a wreckers. You can just close the trunk, but it tends to break afrer time.
