Why is the trunk of your Nissan Juke locked?
We will now see one by one the complications that can make you want to open the safe of your Nissan Juke from the inside.
Lock connection wires cut off that blocks your Nissan Juke trunk
First cause 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 issue triggers the outside trunk release handle to not respond and may also trigger complications with your rear lights which may be associated with the same wiring harness. If you have these two complications and your bulbs are not burnt out (please have a look at our content on changing the bulbs of the rear lights on Nissan Juke if you don’t know how to verify their condition, there is a good chance that the tailgate of your Nissan Juke is blocked because of an electrical issue.
Broken trunk lock on Nissan Juke
The second issue that may cause you to look for how to open the trunk of your Nissan Juke from the inside, is that it is the lock of the trunk of your Nissan Juke that is at the beginning of your issue. In the long run, it may become blocked or internal mechanisms may break. In this case, the action of the exterior trunk handle no longer activates the mechanism. You may still hear the sound of activation, but the mechanism will not spin.
Something’s jammed in the lock
Finally, a last possibility, despite the fact that the origin of the issue is in general 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 Nissan Juke from the inside?
After examining the various causes why you might want to open the trunk of your Nissan Juke from the inside, we will explain 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 security. This handle is hidden and most of us are not even informed of its existence. However, it is the handle that will allow you to open the trunk of your Nissan Juke from the passenger compartment. To locate 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 Nissan Juke (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 locate a sort of lever that once activated will allow you to open the tailgate of your Nissan Juke 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.
