Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG trunk lid not closing properly with loss of soft close feature after battery replacement on Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG

Some Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG owners report experiencing issues with the trunk lid not closing properly after a battery replacement. These problems may stem from memory setting loss, which can often be resolved by pressing the green trunk release button inside the trunk several times. Additionally, some owners find that a faulty trunk lid actuator could be the culprit; testing this involves disconnecting the actuator and manually closing the trunk to see if it closes without issue. Common trunk latch problems are also reported, which can lead to difficulties in closing the trunk. Furthermore, some owners have had success by resetting the fuse or disconnecting and reconnecting the trunk battery, although this may only provide a temporary fix as the air pump could eventually time out due to continued air loss. It is advisable for owners experiencing these issues to investigate these potential causes and solutions to maintain proper trunk functionality.
