Trunk will not close all the way

If there are no obstructions or bent pieces in the hinge/support rod mechanism, you probably have a switch problem. There are two. One stops the release travel and one stops the draw-down travel. Replace or adjust to fix your problem.

1994Linclon town car, my car trunk will not. Close

i have 2009 Lincoln town car that the motor for the trunk has been disconnected because it needs to be replaced I cannot afford a new motor so now my trunk will not close all the way.was told I need a new latch to have it close all the way I need the model number for the latch so I can replace it.. the dealer ship wants 700.00 to replace ????

Lesson learned: Do not keep jumper cables in the trunk! When I got my 2010 Towncar out of storage, the battery was strong enough to start it - but after shutting off the engine - I left the dome light on for about 30 minutes, and then the battery was too run down so I couldn't start the engine again. I got the jumper cables out of the trunk using the remote (battery wasn’t totally dead). After getting the car started, the trunk would not work properly (latch would not pull down.) Talking to the dealership was no help. I purchased used modules at the junk yard for the DDM, the pull down motor, the control circuit, and the decklid closer. Changing them made NO difference. (So now I have spare modules.) Today (using the original modules) I did the following WITHOUT DISCONNECTING A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY: 1) I removed the cover from the deck lid (trunk) latch with pull down motor, and disconnected power from pull down motor. 2) I used a long extension wire to get battery power to pull down motor and applied power until latch was totally pulled down. 3) Closed deck lid (you may need to slam it a little). 4) Removed the following fuses in the following order - Passenger Compartment fuse 8 (10 A, PDM) fuse 19 (7.5 A, DDM) - Engine Compartment fuse 8 (20 A, DDM), fuse 108 (40 A, PDM). 5) measured all fuses (they were all good) and replaced them in the reverse order. 6) Push the trunk release on the key fob. I had to push the release button a few times - and things finally began working. Now everything works correctly!

I solved the problemTry to get the trunk motor to grab one more time (15-20 tries). When it finally does, go to the fuses and remove the trunk motor fuse. Then, open the trunk lid and reach in and disconnect the trunk motor plug. Then close the trunk. You will have a normal good old reliable conventional trunk closing. Then put the fuse back, because it has a few other functions. Good luck and happy motoring!
