04-21,2025
Trunk lock is a device for locking the trunk of a car. It ensures that the trunk remains closed and safe during driving or parking.
Common failures of a trunk lock:
1. Stuck lock cylinder: The lock cylinder may get stuck due to rust, dirt, or improper use, preventing the trunk from opening normally.
2. Electric trunk malfunction: An electric trunk lock may experience motor malfunction, low battery power, or poor wiring, which can prevent the trunk from opening or closing automatically.
3. Remote key malfunction: If the trunk cannot be unlocked with the remote key, it may be because the key battery has run out of power, the key is damaged, or the central control module has failed.
4. Damaged locking mechanism: The mechanical part of the trunk lock may fail due to wear or physical damage, and consequently the trunk may be unable to lock or unlock properly.
5. Aging of sealing strip: Aging of a trunk sealing strip can result in ingress of water into the trunk lock, resulting in corrosion of internal circuits or rusting of mechanical parts.
6. Connection wire failure: Aging of the connection wires or circuits inside the trunk lock may cause unstable signal transmission and malfunctions.
Recommendations for trunk lock maintenance:
Clean the lock cylinder and lock catch regularly to avoid accumulation of dust and dirt.
Prevent the lock cylinder from freezing in winter. Deicing agent may be used for this purpose.
Avoid water ingress into the electronic lock system to prevent short circuits.
