There are two methods to access the trunk of a Ford Focus from the outside. The first is by pushing the trunk release button situated under the trim at the bottom of the trunk. Alternatively, you can hold down the trunk release button on the key fob. Both methods will unlock the latch, enabling you to open the trunk. It's worth noting that the trunk in this vehicle doesn't have an automated opening system, so it needs to be manually opened and shut.
The Ford Focus features a concealed trunk release button near the license plate in the trim. To find the button, you might need to slide your hand under the trim. Another method to open the trunk externally is by using the button on the vehicle's key fob.
I'm unable to open the trunk of my car. The keyless entry doesn't work, and the button to open it is unresponsive. There is no sound when I push the button, and the keyhole on the trunk is also not functioning. Additionally, the seats in the car won't fold down because there are no buttons on the seat tops. The release cables are located inside the trunk. I require assistance to resolve this issue.
Here's a rephrased and simplified version of the text: If your 2012 Ford Focus battery is dead and you need to open the trunk, start by unlocking your car doors manually. Next, go to the back seat and press the release buttons on the top corners to fold down the seats. This is the only method I'm aware of to open the trunk without power if your Focus doesn't have a keyhole or manual release for the trunk that doesn't rely on the battery.
