Problem overview

Some Honda Civic owners report experiencing complete electrical failures that prevent the trunk from opening. This issue may stem from a malfunctioning trunk release button, which could be caused by wear and tear or electrical problems. Additionally, owners have noted that latch and catch issues, such as obstructions, misalignment, or electrical faults, can also prevent the trunk from closing properly. When basic troubleshooting methods fail to resolve these problems, it is recommended that owners seek assistance from a service center to diagnose and fix the underlying issues, ensuring the proper functioning of the vehicle's trunk system.
