How to Manually Release the Trunk of a Cadillac When the Battery is Dead

If your Cadillac’s battery dies and the trunk release button won’t work, you’re not stuck. Here’s how to access it without power.

Steps to follow:

  1. Locate the manual release – Most models have a glow-in-the-dark pull handle inside the trunk.
  2. Access through the back seats – Fold down the rear seat (look for a latch near the headrests).
  3. Pull the emergency handle – This will mechanically release the latch.
  4. Jump or replace the battery – Once you’ve got the trunk open, you can access the battery or tools.

Pro Tip: Keep a small jump starter in your glove box to avoid this issue in the future.
