Here are several answers from FAQ Farmers: * If the trunk lock is broken, it's probably one of those things that needs to be replaced.. after all if your keeping valuable items in your trunk, you want something that will lock up. A lock is a fairly intricate peice of hardware, and with many small parts to it, it's difficult to fix. A locksmith, is probably not a good idea. They may not care about the car itself and cause more trouble than they are worth, a mechanic will be willing to replace the lock, or fix it if possible. The only problem this these locks, is that often, the lock housing is located between your cars outer...skin... and the metal framing for the trunk. Since these two have been welded and assembled in the shop years ago, they are extremely difficult to access. * It depends. If the sheet metal was damaged, that will have to be repaired first, or the lock won't seat properly. That's done by a body shop. The lock itself would have to be looked at-by a locksmith. If it's not possible to repair, a new one can be installed and keyed to match. This is NOT something many car dealers or mechanics can do. Removal and replacement of the lock cylinder isn't very difficult, BTW-if not self-evident, a service manual should show how.

How do you fix a Malibu trunk lock?

To fix a Malibu trunk lock, first ensure that the key fob battery is functioning, as a dead battery can prevent the lock from operating. If the lock is physically jammed, inspect it for any debris and lubricate it with a graphite lubricant or WD-40. If the lock mechanism is faulty, you may need to remove the trunk liner to access and inspect the lock assembly for any broken parts or wiring issues. If necessary, consider replacing the lock mechanism entirely.
