Lock connection wires cut off that blocks your Fiat Punto Evo trunk
First justification 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.

Broken trunk lock on Fiat Punto Evo
The second problem that may cause you to seek out how to open the trunk of your Fiat Punto Evo from the inside, is that it is the lock of the trunk of your Fiat Punto Evo that is at the beginning of your problem. Over time, it may become blocked or internal mechanisms may break. In this case, the action of the exterior trunk handle no longer stimulates the mechanism. You may still listen to the sound of activation, but the mechanism will not turn.

How to open trunk Fiat Punto Evo from the inside?
After reviewing the various reasons why you might want to open the trunk of your Fiat Punto Evo 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 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 Punto Evo from the passenger compartment. To discover 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 Punto Evo (center of the tailgate), you’ll have to remove a plastic cover to see the whole lock appear. Once this has been achieved, you should find a sort of lever that once activated will allow you to open the tailgate of your Fiat Punto Evo 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 you put it back in position once you close your trunk.
