Step 1: Identify The Problem
The first step to fixing any problem is to identify what’s causing it. There are a few reasons why your Honda Accord’s trunk latch may be stuck. Sometimes, it’s the latch itself that’s not working properly. Other times, it could be the trunk’s hinges that are causing the problem. It’s also possible that the trunk’s latch cable is stuck or broken. To figure out which of these is causing the issue, open the trunk as far as you can and have a look.
Step 2: Try Lubricating The Latch
If the latch itself seems to be the problem, then the next step is to try lubricating it. You can use a spray lubricant or WD-40 to do this. Spray the lubricant onto the latch and then use a rag to wipe away any excess. This should help to loosen the latch and make it easier to open.
Step 3: Try Replacing The Hinges
If the hinges seem to be the problem, then you’ll need to replace them. First, you’ll need to remove the old hinges from the trunk. This can usually be done by unscrewing the bolts that hold the hinges in place. Once the old hinges are removed, you can then install the new hinges and reattach the bolts. Before you do this, make sure to lubricate the hinges with a spray lubricant or WD-40.
Step 4: Try Replacing The Latch Cable
If the latch cable is the problem, then you’ll need to replace it. To do this, you’ll need to remove the old cable from the trunk. This can usually be done by unscrewing the bolts that hold the cable in place. Once the old cable is removed, you can then install the new cable and reattach the bolts. Make sure to lubricate the cable with a spray lubricant or WD-40 before you do this.
