Additional Help

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.

What are common signs it needs to be fixed?

The trunk latch can become stuck due to a lack of lubrication or a malfunctioning key fob battery. If you notice that the trunk latch is sticking or the key fob is not working, it is time to take your Ford Flex to a dealership or qualified mechanic for repair.
