Opening the trunk of your Ford Flex is necessary to use the cargo space behind it, especially if you’re traveling with a large amount of luggage and need access to the trunk.
What happens if the trunk doesn’t open?
Check to ensure you press the correct button for your model year. If it still does not open, you may need to check the latch mechanism to ensure it is not jammed. It is also possible that the key fob battery is dead and needs to be replaced.
