Why is the trunk of your Fiat Ducato locked?
We will now see one at a time the problems that can make you want to open the safe of your Fiat Ducato from the inside.
Lock connection wires cut off that blocks your Fiat Ducato trunk
First reason for a locked trunk on your car. It is possible that the wires or the wiring harness of the trunk lock may have been cut by force or because of shocks. This trouble motives the outside trunk release handle to not act in response and may also bring about problems with your rear lights which may be connected to the same wiring harness. If you have these two problems and your bulbs are not burnt out (please browse our content on changing the bulbs of the rear lights on Fiat Ducato if you don’t know how to verify their state, there is a good chance that the tailgate of your Fiat Ducato is blocked caused by an electrical trouble.
Broken trunk lock on Fiat Ducato
The second trouble that may cause you to try to find how to open the trunk of your Fiat Ducato from the inside, is that it is the lock of the trunk of your Fiat Ducato that is at the source of your trouble. As time passes, it may become blocked or internal mechanisms may break. In such a case, the action of the exterior trunk handle no longer stimulates the system. You may still perceive the sound of activation, but the mechanism will not spin.
Something’s jammed in the lock
Finally, a last situation, although the source 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 Fiat Ducato from the inside?
After reviewing the various reasons why you might want to open the trunk of your Fiat Ducato from the inside, we will show you how to do it in practice.
You may not be informed of it, but there is an internal handle on your trunk, which is there for essential safety. This handle is hidden and most people are not even aware of its existence. On the other hand, it is the handle that will allow you to open the trunk of your Fiat Ducato from the passenger compartment. To find 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 Fiat Ducato (center of the tailgate), you’ll have to remove a plastic cover to see the entire lock appear. Once this has been completed, you should discover a sort of lever that once activated will allow you to open the tailgate of your Fiat Ducato 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 remember to put it back in position once you close your trunk.
