Idk if you will read this bro but you saved me a headache and money. My trunk wouldn’t open with the button or my remote. I was accessing my trunk by folding my backseat to get to things. Turns out it was the fuse that was blown. Got a new one and trunk opens again👍🏽.
Wow! I was dreading having to order a replacement latch from the dealer. I started with the fuse and low and behold that was the problem. Gracias amigo!
When I press my trunk release button I hear a click but it doesn’t open. Do I need to replace the actuator or the fuse? I have a 2009 Chevy Malibu I believe the fuse is located in my trunk which I can’t get to open (stupid design!)
You have a K1 relay, your number 8 and your #16 fuses. If those doesnt work, replace the actuator. You've written this about 8 mo ago so im pretty sure you either gotten it fixed or you just blew the damn car up lol. But im going thru this problem now and i did all of the above and my trunk still doesnt open
@@davidscott7942 it's actually been sitting in my lot for 8 months unfortunately. I'm having someone come look at it soon though, I happened to buy fuses awhile back so I'll go ahead and try that. Thank you!!
@@onceme2u no worries. I literally just fixed my problem. The #16 fuse ( which will have #5 on the fuse itself).....So it turns out i blew a brand new fuse replacing my trunk actuator. Turns out, if you in fact need to replace your actuator (amazon $20) take your #16 fuse out first!. I blew the fuse again putting the actuator in.
I opened the trunk fine but all of a sudden the trunk won't close anymore. Do you think the latch is stuck open and I'll have to replace the latch and not the fuse?
@@JoseGuzm4n hey brother thanks for the answers! I replaced the latch and it closes now but won't open 😅 I'll check the fuses now to see if that's the problem
@@JoseGuzm4n Looks like that did the trick. So far, no more blown fuses and the release motor sounds and acts way stronger. Thanks again for posting this video. It helped me find what I needed fast and easy.
Hi I’m new here lol. My trunk just randomly opens at times and in order for the trunk to close I have to push in the button on my trunk first. GMC replaces the fuse in November 2020 and it’s back doing the same thing. Do I need a latch? Please help this is frustrating
I replaced it and took out the fuse the car completely turned off , disconnected the battery and connected back now nothing in the front will turn on like the lights from gas , revoluciones speed etc help ! lol
Blows my mind that by the year 2014 or so Chevrolet can't come up with a Trunk latch worth a damn. I'll buy American I said...... back to Toyo / Honda.
Every car has their problems lol. I'm a automotive technician. There's isn't a car or truck out there that doesn't have something that breaks. In fact, my mom's 2003 Honda Accord, has had 3 interior door handles replaced because they keep breaking.

FYI trunk still works fine after 4 years

Glad I was able to help.
@@JoseGuzm4n dang i just realized it keeps blowing out the fuse every time i use my remote or button for the trunk. Any ideas why?
Bad trunk actuator need to replace. Mine did the same . As soon as you use it it blows

Ur welcome
You rock bro, I literally just replaced my my fuse before going the other route. That was it.

Was this done because the trunk wouldn't open or (in my case) the trunk won't stay closed?
Yes on both the
Update: Hey thanks man...I just fixed it. Worked like a charm!
My trunk won't close. So do you think it's the latch not the fuse? Or should i still replace the fuse anyways just in case?
Yvette Diaz check if the fuse is blown. If not then replace the latch.
I got a trunk latch for $30 off amazon for my Chevy Malibu. My fuse was fine but car places wanted $100 or over for this part.
I opened the trunk fine but all of a sudden the trunk won't close anymore. Do you think the latch is stuck open and I'll have to replace the latch and not the fuse?
Same issue I had fuse pops so I suggest to change latch mine has been fine since then.
You can replace fuse to get it to close but eventually it will go out again
@@JoseGuzm4n If I change the latch will I still have to change the fuse?
@@pokemonutopia8820 depends if the fuse blew or not
@@JoseGuzm4n hey brother thanks for the answers! I replaced the latch and it closes now but won't open 😅 I'll check the fuses now to see if that's the problem
What were the symptoms you were experiencing that led you to replace it? Mine keeps blowing fuses and gets stuck half way during the unlatch movement.
Mine kept blowing the fuse each time i pressed the button
@@JoseGuzm4n
Cool. Thanks for the quick reply. I just ordered the same one on Amazon. Thanks for your help.
@@ragtop63 no problem
@@ragtop63 let me know if it worked out for you.

Does th remote to open trunk work on the amazon new part?
Yes
Can you make a video on on to take the rear seat out to get inside the trunk. I can't open my trunk
On the seat there is a lever on each side you press down and they fold down. By the headrest
@@JoseGuzm4n even on a 2012
Got it thanks alot
Hey, I replaced my fuse and it still would not lock in place. Should I just replace the whole latch?
Try and pull the maual lever if not the latch got stuck open. Then just replace.
jose guzman it pulls a bit. But I just ordered it for $20 on amazon! Hopefully that works. Thanks for the video!
@@NeverL8_LA let me know if it does.
jose guzman bro. I have a 2015! Should still be the same right
@@NeverL8_LA yes
What type of screw head did you use none that I try seem to work
Check my description everything is on there.
jose guzman got it thanks man

Yes latch is faulty. Might work periodically but it’s failing already. Once a fuse blows that means the latch is causa short.
@@JoseGuzm4n thank you so much for replying
do you have to replace the fuse, or just leave it out?
Steve Eccs replace
Thank you so much .👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much it was both !😁
thank you
I replaced it and took out the fuse the car completely turned off , disconnected the battery and connected back now nothing in the front will turn on like the lights from gas , revoluciones speed etc help ! lol
Laura Carvajal probably a bad battery connection check your grounds and all or might have blown a fuse.
jose guzman what fuse would it be ?
Laura Carvajal i don’t know
