(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) so. i REALLY need to get into my rear trunk. problem is, it wont open. PO removed the lock and place an electric latch and put the cool porsche reflector on the back. are there any alternative ways into the trunk? (access hole on the underside? lmao) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) the wiring seems to be fine and all connections are fine. i even have the JWEST fuse panel with no blown fuses. replaced the inline fuse, POP! about 3 fuses. and then nothing. ANY IDEAS? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

Remove the engine lid cover, two ten mm bolts, then you can get intot eh area much easier.
I have remvoved, or loosened the two bolts that hold the rear deck lid to teh hinges, you can then pry it up to gain a little more room to acces the rear trunk arera. I then used a very long extension and a ten MM socket and removed the two bolts which secure the latch which is bolted to the rear tailight panel. Oh after you are done, you might want to install a fail safe method to access the rear trunk that is not dependent on the electric solenoid. Just a thought. CCLINTRUNKMONKEY |
