Pontiac Solstice trunk unlock light and warning horn remain active when trunk is closed on Pontiac Solstice

Problem overview

Some Pontiac Solstice owners report experiencing issues with the trunk unlock light and warning horn remaining active even when the trunk is closed. This may occur if the trunk latch is not fully engaging, preventing the sensor from resetting, which keeps the light on. Additionally, a misalignment of the trunk lid can cause it to sit slightly above the fenders, triggering the warning indicators. Some owners also find that the trunk may open unintentionally due to a stuck emergency release, a bent latch, or problems with the body control module or relay. To resolve these issues, it is recommended that owners check the trunk latch engagement, inspect the alignment of the trunk lid, and examine the emergency release and related components for any faults.
