Lock connection wires cut off that blocks your Fiat Bravo trunk
First justification 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 issue triggers the outside trunk release handle to not react and may also bring about complications with your rear lights which may be linked with the same wiring harness.

How to open trunk Fiat Bravo from the inside?
After going over the various motives why you might want to open the trunk of your Fiat Bravo from the inside, we will show you how to do it in practice.
You may not be aware of it, but there is an internal handle on your trunk, which is there for basic 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 Fiat Bravo from the passenger compartment. To situate this “handle” you’ll have to get in the back seat (don’t hesitate to fold it down for more space), and, at the trunk lock of your Fiat Bravo (center of the tailgate), you’ll have to remove a plastic cover to see the complete lock appear. Once this has been carried out, you should locate a sort of lever that once activated will allow you to open the tailgate of your Fiat Bravo 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.
