Nissan Versa trunk not opening with key or manually on Nissan Versa

Problem overview

Some Nissan Versa owners report experiencing difficulties with their trunk not opening, which can be attributed to several common issues. These include a faulty trunk latch that prevents proper opening, as well as broken cables or linkage within the trunk mechanism. Additionally, some owners find that a malfunctioning switch, either on the key fob or inside the vehicle, may be the cause of the problem. In cases where these checks do not resolve the issue, it is recommended that owners seek a professional mechanic for a thorough inspection and diagnosis. Some users have noted that they must hold down the trunk release on the key and time it correctly to open the trunk, suggesting that manual manipulation may sometimes be necessary. Understanding the trunk lock mechanisms and emergency release cable can also aid in accessing the trunk without a key. Addressing these potential causes systematically is crucial for restoring the functionality of the Nissan Versa trunk.
