What is adjusting the trunk latch all about?

It’s about a good tight fit for your trunk and keeping water away from your valuables. On vehicles with batteries, modules and fuses in the trunk area, the latch serves an extremely important purpose in the safe operation of your vehicle.

The trunk latch can be anything from a metal hook and locking mechanism built into the center of your trunk, to a maze of wires, motors and sensors that must be in perfect operation for the latch to operate properly. If one of these components is not installed properly or is malfunctioning, you may have a trunk that may lock only on one side or not lock at all.

Keep in mind:

  • Trunk latches are made out of metal, and like any metallic parts that encounter weight and friction during their use, these parts are designed to wear out over time and become misaligned.

  • On cars with power trunks and hatches, these intricate components become even more complicated. The components and sensors that help guide them must all work in concert, and this includes ensuring that the new latch mechanism works with your key fob.

Our recommendation:

If your trunk or hatch looks uneven or your isn’t staying shut at the first "thunk," it’s time to have a professional look at it. Latches can often be adjusted to save the cost of their replacement. Enlist one of our mechanics to find the quickest and most reasonable solution to your trunk latch issue.

What are the common symptoms indicating you may need to to adjust the trunk latch?

  • If you find that one part of your trunk seems slightly high than the other, your latch may need to be adjusted.

  • On older vehicles, you may also find that the trunk has difficulty closing. This is especially the case for any car owner that drives a convertible year round. The specifications for top storage and power operation on a modern day convertible are within mere millimeters, and the constant use of the trunk latch on these vehicles often leads to wear issues.

  • The trunk latch can also become misaligned through the constant interference of an object. If you have ever overpacked your trunk and had trouble closing it, it’s because something is interfering with the operation of your latches. This part can easily can be misaligned or even broken off if this pressure on the latches is ignored.

How important is this service?

On late models in particular, a trunk or hatch that doesn’t shut correctly can lead to a long line of unexpected issues - many of which can involve your electrical system, which can be tricky to diagnose.

Then there is also the unpleasantness of having a wet trunk, a latch that won’t properly open, and even a trunk that won’t stay shut unless you use a bungee cord. So if your trunk or hatch is giving you trouble, it’s important to address it sooner than later.

Mazda B3000 V6-3.0L - Heater Blower Motor Resistor - Decatur, Georgia
Howard did a great job and is a real nice guy. We had a blow motor replaced prior with another tech. Howard came and replaced the blower motor resistor. With these two fixes we really thought this would take care of the ventilation system issue, but I still don't have air blowing out of the center console, just on the top vents and those on the bottom. The repair is beyond the scope of the repair I asked for. That is not any one's fault, if anything is was mine Howard is five stars.

I have a 2003 VW Passat W8 wagon. I was driving, I zoomed up to 60 quite nicely after just finishing a repair to my VVT actuators. It idled great again, so I was happy. Just as I thanked my stars etc, the engine cut to idle with my foot on the gas. I limped along with intermittent engine throttle. I decided to try turning the engine off and restating it. It worked and I drive, carefully, around to several errands that day. It got worse and was a real puzzle. I replaced the throttle body. No difference at all. My OBDII showed that the VVT Actuator failure codes WERE GONE, YAY. But it showed a 2101 throttle body actuator motor malfunction and of course with the engine cutting out like that, it recorded timing advanced on the exhaust actuators on both sides of the V8. Errors, not actuator failures. I think it looks like I have an intermittant connection to my Throttle body. How can I, by myself, fix this? If I take it anywhere, the MO if shoos is to find faulty part, replace part with OEM part and done. That's not going to work on a 17 year old car. I drove it all day yesterday and the throttle cut but I pulled my foot of the gas so fast it did not even turn on the engine light. When I was almost home, I floored it and made it fail with the 2101 Throttle body Actuator motor failure. But it's brand new. It's a wiring problem. What can I do?I have had the seat module fail. I just pulled the plugs and out them back on, with some anticorrosion spray and it's worked for 10 more years. I COULD be a corroded connection.
