Pontiac G6 trunk not opening due to incomplete convertible top operation on Pontiac G6

Problem overview

Some Pontiac G6 owners report experiencing difficulties with the trunk not opening, often linked to incomplete convertible top operation. This issue may arise from a faulty hall sensor that fails to enable the convertible top, or problems with micro switches that, despite appearing functional, are essential for proper operation. Additionally, owners frequently encounter a display message stating "top not secure," which may be connected to a switch located above the driver's vanity mirror. In some cases, replacing trunk lift supports or addressing microswitch concerns has resolved similar trunk opening issues. Furthermore, a malfunctioning convertible top control module or internal latch switch could also disrupt both the convertible top and trunk functions. It is recommended that owners check the rear fuse panel for the Trunk relay and consider swapping it with another relay, as a faulty relay could be the underlying cause of the trunk not opening.
