Trunk & Blinker

My trunk will not open from the remote or the door panel, Is it the fuse or a jam?

My right blinker is out, how can i change it?

2004 CTS 3.6L

right blinker....front or back?

as for the trunk....try pulling up on the trunk lid as you push the button....if that works you need a stronger spring in the strike/latch assembly.

stick your head under the car.....there's a belly pan under there held on with christmas trees and other fasteners....take some out and pull down on the belly pan if you can't pull it down enough take more trees out.....the fog housing will be right there....reach in and change the bulb.....3157 bulb if I'm not mistaken.

Have you tried using the Key?

you have apparently never opened your trunk....next time your around the back of your car try and find that key hole.

I think there is an emegency pull latch when you lower the rear armrest and reach in the truck.

There is not a keyhole on the 04 luxury sport model.....

Try to reach through the back seat opening and search for a plastic tab on a steel cable on the drivers side in the trunk compartment.

Not every single cts have that option "access thru backseats" only luxury/sport does.

Park it overnight in the ghetto. I guaranty that the trunk will be open by morning.

I think your mistaken....this was a safety feature mandated due to people getting locked in their trunks ie. hijacked or whatever other reason...kids crawl in trunk with keys...whatever....but ya, every new car built should have one.
