Why is the trunk not opening on my Chevy Malibu?
Both the latch and button were not working. I ordered a cheap china latch and had the same problem. Neither the key fob or push button would open the trunk lid and the latch would not keep it closed. What I found was there was slight tension on the emergency cable that would not allow the latch to work properly.
Where is the fuse on a Chevy Malibu?
It was fuse #16 (Trunk Release). Under the compartment lid that is on the left side under the steering wheel. It is a 5amp fuse. In the mean time I interchanged with fuse #20 just to turn the failure on and off. I am going to buy a spare just in case. I hope this helps everyone with the same failure of not opening trunk.
