how to fix the trunk release not working on my Renault Clio V (2019-Present)?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts required for the repair.
• Disconnect the vehicle battery to ensure safety while working on the electrical system.

Tools Required:

• Screwdriver set
• Multimeter
• OBD-II scanner
• Wire strippers and connectors (if repairs to wiring are needed)

2. Inspect and Replace Fuses

• Open the fuse box and locate the fuse related to the trunk release mechanism.
• Remove the fuse using a fuse puller or pliers.
• Inspect the fuse for continuity using a multimeter.
  • If blown: Replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage.

3. Check and Repair Wiring

• Visually inspect the wiring harness connected to the trunk release button and lever for fraying or damage.
• If damaged, use wire strippers to remove the damaged section and connect new wire segments using connectors.
• Ensure all connections are secure.

4. Test the Trunk Release Mechanism

• Reconnect the battery.
• Test the trunk release button and lever to see if the issue has been resolved.
• If the trunk still does not open, proceed to check the trunk latch.

5. Replace the Trunk Latch (if necessary)

• Disconnect any wiring harness connected to the latch.
• Install the new trunk latch by reversing the removal steps, ensuring all connections are secure.
