truck? you ment TRUNK.
some latches can be closed, with open door or trunk.
what you do is trip it.
look at lock and fiddly parts and it goes click..
look at the latch, is the actual latch close with open trunk. yes, BINGO
The latch is most likely the issue. If the trunk is used a lot, the latch is misaligned or a foreign object obstructed the latch from closing. The latch itself could be damaged. Carefully inspect the opening of the latch and look for bent, mushroomed or damaged steel. I would have to see to know for sure, how to proceed.
Several times I've been able to fix this problem by tightening the bolts that hold the trunk latch. If that doesn't work, order and install a new latch. After fixing the latch, find a friend, and get into the trunk, and make sure that the emergency release (for trapped children) also still works.
I did this to my car once. Be sure the latch isn't closed as you are trying to close the trunk. With the trunk open pop the trunk once, then see if the trunk latches properly.
On the Sebring, there is a small switch on the trunk where it latches. Right in the middle, there is a small button you can push, which will allow the trunk door to shut. It just needs reset. Right where it goes down to lock at.
