Why is the trunk of your Citroen C6 locked?
We will now see one at a time the problems that can make you want to open the safe of your Citroen C6 from the inside.
Lock connection wires cut off that blocks your Citroen C6 trunk
First reason for a locked trunk on your car. It is likely that the wires or the wiring harness of the trunk lock may have been cut by force or because of shocks. This trouble causes the outside trunk release handle to not respond and may also generate problems with your rear lights which may be linked with the same wiring harness. If you have these two problems and your bulbs are not burnt out (please have a look at our article on changing the bulbs of the rear lights on Citroen C6 if you don’t know how to test their condition, there is a good chance that the tailgate of your Citroen C6 is blocked due to an electrical trouble.
Broken trunk lock on Citroen C6
The second trouble that may cause you to look for how to open the trunk of your Citroen C6 from the inside, is that it is the lock of the trunk of your Citroen C6 that is at the beginning of your trouble. With time, it may become blocked or internal mechanisms may break. In this case, the action of the exterior trunk handle no longer activates the system. You may still listen to the sound of activation, but the mechanism will not turn.
Something’s jammed in the lock
To finish , a last possibility, despite the fact that the origin of the trouble is usually already known. It is possible that you have something (a bag for example, a jacket, leaves…) stuck in the lock of your trunk and that this foreign body keeps it in the closed position.
How to open trunk Citroen C6 from the inside?
After examining the various causes why you might want to open the trunk of your Citroen C6 from the inside, we will describe how to do it in practice.
You may not be advised of it, but there is an internal handle on your trunk, which is there for safety. This handle is hidden and many of us are not even advised of its existence. On the other hand, it is the handle that will allow you to open the trunk of your Citroen C6 from the passenger compartment. To situate this “handle” you’ll have to get in the back seat (don’t be reluctant to fold it down for more space), and, at the trunk lock of your Citroen C6 (center of the tailgate), you’ll have to remove a plastic cover to see the entire lock appear. Once this has been done, you should identify a sort of lever that once activated will allow you to open the tailgate of your Citroen C6 from the inside. Be careful though, on many models if this lever remains in the open position you will not be able to lock your trunk when locking your car with the central locking system. So make sure to put it back in position once you close your trunk.
