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 retract feature in a 1989 Camaro may not close the trunk due to a faulty motor, a malfunctioning switch, or a problem with the trunk latch mechanism. Additionally, issues like worn wiring, blown fuses, or misalignment of the trunk lid can prevent proper operation. Inspecting these components can help identify the root cause of the problem. Regular maintenance and checks can also help prevent such issues from arising.
is the back of the car dented in? like is the trunk rubbing while trying to close? Second possibility is the latch could have broken,keeping it from attaching and not allowing it to stay shut,possibly a hinge problem towards the back of the trunk door...One of those is most likely the problem...' Good Luck
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.
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.
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.
If the automatic trunk on your 1991 Lincoln Town Car won't close all the way, it could be due to a misalignment of the trunk lid or issues with the trunk latch mechanism. Check for any obstructions or debris in the latch area that might prevent it from securing properly. Additionally, inspect the trunk struts or springs for wear, as they may not provide enough support to close the lid fully. If the problem persists, consider consulting a mechanic for a thorough inspection and repair.
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.
If the remote for your 1997 Chrysler LHS isn't working and the trunk won't close or latch, you can try manually opening the trunk and inspecting the latch mechanism for any obstructions or damage. Check the trunk release cable and ensure it's functioning properly. You can also use the key to manually unlock the trunk and see if that helps engage the latch. If the problem persists, consider consulting a mechanic for further assistance.
