2017 Trunk Closing issues

[David Williams]

Hi danielco. Just to reiterate: There is a specific power trunk reset procedure, for your Continental, listed in the Owners Manual. Check the Index under "Doors and Locks" for the correct page in your copy, then follow it.

Out of curiosity, did you detail your car or did someone else. Do you remember if you manually pushed the trunk closed? Or if you hired a detailer, perhaps they manually closed the trunk? The Owners Manual also explains how this can cause issues with the automatic open/close mechanisms.

Also, if your Continental is still within the 4 year/50,000 mile New Car Warranty and the reset procedure doesn't help, you can make an appointment for service.

Let us know how you make out and good luck.

I had the the same problem after putting groceries in the car on a Rainey day

I'm having the exact problem, what did you end up doing?

Hi David. There is a reset procedure for my MKZ, and since the MKZ and Continental use a similar sysem, I would assume there is a reset procedure for the Continental.

The reset procedure is outlined in the Owners Manual. If you do not have your hard copy, you can download the PDF version here: https://www.fleet.ford.com/parts-service/resources/owner-manuals/

Let us know how you make out and good luck.
