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.
