Thread: GTP-trunk release

That button is electrical. Start with fuses

Fuse #27 in the Underhood Fuseblock supplies power to the "Rear Compartment Lid Release Actuator."

Does your car have Keyless Entry? If so can you release the trunk lid using the button on the remote?

In order for the yellow button inside the glovebox to work the car has to be in "Park". Power comes from Fuse 27 under the hood through the Park Neutral Switch to the button in the glovebox to the solenoid in the trunk.

If the trunk opens with the remote then it's either a bad switch or a wiring problem. If it doesn't open with the remote then I would guess it's a bad solenoid or a sticky mechanism. The release on my '02 does not work as well as the one on my '98. Sometimes I have to press the yellow button more than once to get the trunk to pop.

gotcha,

yes the trunk will open with remote and key, just one of those little quirks that peaks my interest when it does not work.

by the way if i work on the wifes car it gets me off the honey-do list for a spell.(neverending honey-do list)
