Step 3. Try different opening methods: If your Sorento has multiple ways to open the trunk (e.g., key fob, physical key, interior button), try using different methods to see if the problem is specific to one method.
Step 4. Check for obstructions: Sometimes, objects can get stuck in the trunk latch or prevent the actuator from working properly. Check for any obstructions that might be interfering with the mechanism.
