Want this question answered?
There could be an electrical problem stopping the trunk from shutting all the way. The solenoid that closes the trunk could be weak or out of adjustment.
The power trunk lid has to be activated by pushing the trunk release button on the remote twice. to close the trunk,, do like wise.
Remove the power trunk release, it may be stuck and holding the latch to the open position. I had same problem and found that if I use the key to unlock power lock then closed trunk - it worked.
Check in the trunk where the spare tire should be.
How do i get the trunk to close when it sometime works
In the trunk, inside the right fender well.
Because the vacuum pump has stopped retracting in. There is a close assist vacuum pump that will close the trunk from the first stop and retract the handle. Sometimes this can be reset by undoing the battery cable for a while. If that does not work check the fuses, it is common to blow the vacuum pump fuse. If that fails replace the pump, they are fairly cheap on eBay by Bosch. If that fails check the line between the pump and the trunk mechanism.
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.
Most of them are accessable from within the trunk behind the carpet/mat.
press the key lock in with your thumb and you will hear a click. You should be able to close your trunk.
Something is on an pulling power from the battery. Check the lights in the glove box, trunk, under-hood, interior. Check for a stuck relay. Power windows, power seat, power door lock, fuel pump relay, etc.
drop the fuel tank. the pump is in the tank.
