Why is the trunk of your Kia Cee D locked?
We will now see one after the other the concerns that can make you want to open the safe of your Kia Cee D from the inside.
Lock connection wires cut off that blocks your Kia Cee D 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 problem causes the outside trunk release handle to not react and may also provoke concerns with your rear lights which may be connected with the same wiring harness. If you have these two concerns and your bulbs are not burnt out (please have a look at our article on changing the bulbs of the rear lights on Kia Cee D if you don’t know how to test their condition, there is a good chance that the tailgate of your Kia Cee D is blocked resulting from an electrical problem.
Broken trunk lock on Kia Cee D
The second problem that may cause you to search for how to open the trunk of your Kia Cee D from the inside, is that it is the lock of the trunk of your Kia Cee D that is at the source of your problem. Over time, it may become blocked or internal mechanisms may break. In this instance, the action of the exterior trunk handle no longer activates the system. You may still hear the sound of activation, but the mechanism will not turn.
Something’s jammed in the lock
Finally, a last situation, even though the cause of the problem is in most cases already established. 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 Kia Cee D from the inside?
After going over the various factors why you might want to open the trunk of your Kia Cee D from the inside, we will teach you 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 security. This handle is hidden and many people are not even knowledgeable of its existence. However, it is the handle that will allow you to open the trunk of your Kia Cee D from the passenger compartment. To identify 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 Kia Cee D (center of the tailgate), you’ll have to remove a plastic cover to see the entire lock appear. Once this has been carried out, you should identify a sort of lever that once activated will allow you to open the tailgate of your Kia Cee D 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.
