Lock connection wires cut off that blocks your Toyota Yaris 2 trunk
First cause 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 generate 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 article on changing the bulbs of the rear lights on Toyota Yaris 2 if you don’t know how to examine their condition, there is a good chance that the tailgate of your Toyota Yaris 2 is blocked resulting from an electrical problem.
Broken trunk lock on Toyota Yaris 2
The second problem that may cause you to try to find how to open the trunk of your Toyota Yaris 2 from the inside, is that it is the lock of the trunk of your Toyota Yaris 2 that is at the origin of your problem. In the long run, it may become blocked or internal mechanisms may break. In such a case, the action of the exterior trunk handle no longer activates the mechanism. You may still listen to the sound of activation, but the mechanism will not turn.
Something’s jammed in the lock

How to open trunk Toyota Yaris 2 from the inside?
After examining the various factors why you might want to open the trunk of your Toyota Yaris 2 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 essential safety. This handle is hidden and many of us are not even aware of its existence. However, it is the handle that will allow you to open the trunk of your Toyota Yaris 2 from the passenger compartment. To identify 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 Toyota Yaris 2 (center of the tailgate), you’ll have to remove a plastic cover to see the whole lock appear. Once this has been completed, you should identify a sort of lever that once activated will allow you to open the tailgate of your Toyota Yaris 2 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 be sure to put it back in position once you close your trunk.
