SOURCE: Trunk Latch will not pull closed.

The small switch is the trunk by the pull down motor with the flap that depresses down is at fault. That is what you call the truck pull down switch. You can take this part and show it to a Cadillac or Ford parts department sales person and get a replacement for you car. Ford uses the same part for their Lincolns and Crown Vic's. The part is made by the very same supplier for Ford & GM. Ford will sell this part at a much lower cost as well compared to GM

SOURCE: how to replace pull down trunk 1995 Cadillac Deville

The trunk lid pull-down assembly switch, part number 16629927, most likely needs to be replaced. The switch is mounted on top of the trunk lid pull-down assembly motor at the bottom of the trunk. The switch costs about $43. It's easy to replace. Just unplug the electrical connector, remove one Torax-head screw, and pull up on the switch while wiggling it.

To verify that the trunk lid pull-down assembly switch (which is actually a combination of three enclosed ganged striker switches and one lid ajar switch) needs replacing, connect a test lamp or voltmeter between the orange and black wires on the electrical connector. If the lamp lights or the voltmeter shows about 12VDC, then either the connector needs cleaning or the pull-down assembly switch is bad. If the lamp doesn't light or the voltmeter reading is zero, trunk compartment fuse D7 is open, or a wire is open or shorted to ground.

My 92 eldo cadi trunk won't close it latches but the motor doesn't pull it down to close fully

There is a electric motor on the lower part of the trunk that usually goes bad. Not on the trunk lid but the trunk part. You can remove the assembly and take it apart so you can turn the latch all the way down , Once youy have done this you can put it back in place. Make sure you unplug the motor so it won't go up again, You should be able to use the release button inside.

1997 Cadillac Deville Concours Trunk will not close!

latch mechanism is probably motorized. Gently pushing the trunk lid down slides the lid/latch bar into the mechanism. this pushes a tab inside the motorized latch and the drive motor pulls the lid down tight and secure. you may be able to test the latch mechanism by sliding a pen or screwdriver into the latch groove to simulate the lid coming down. if you see the motor drive engage, and pull down the tool, you at least know this is working.

Cadillac 96 deville - Trunk won't close

Try spraying the inner portion of it with some WD40 or similar lubricant. It sounds like something must be stuck. After you spray it, keep working the key and pushing the remote until you get some results. Good luck. Let me know how you make out.

Rear trunk wont close, power trunk wont close mechanisms seem to be fine just wont latch

You can adjust the trunk lid by loosening the bolts at the hinges. If that wont work then there is a micro switch incorporated within the trunk latch. You will need to replace the entire latch unit unfortunatly.
