trunk release

wadman · February 18th, 2008, 08:07 PM

My trunk release on my key fob quit working. Any ideas? I think it happened when they installed my Zex kit. I replaces the small fuse but it didnt work. Any ideas?

DanTheMan · February 18th, 2008, 08:08 PM

does it release from the interior button?

wadman · February 18th, 2008, 08:15 PM

Mine does have a interior button. Was that a joke?

1Nasty05 · February 18th, 2008, 08:19 PM

HMUSN · February 18th, 2008, 08:22 PM

you 05 plus guys don't have one.

it's standard on all other mustangs though. it would be in the glove box

Try replacing the battery. Try using the second remote.

no that wasn't a joke.. if the interior button works, then it's the remote.. if the interior button doesn't it's the popper or the popper's wiring..

If it's the remote you can try and clean the contacts by prying it apart and using a bit of alcohol on a swab

If it's the popper, check the wiring and look behind any panels they may have removed to put the n2o in and make sure all the connections are connected.. if they are check fuses, if none of that works check where the popper connects to the latch and see if the cable is still intact.

hope that helps

we dont have an interior button on our car. Try your second remote. If you need something bad out of there before you can get it working you can get in through the back seat.

Good advice outside of not knowing the S197 doesn't have a interior trunk release.

Unless you have a convertible, cause the verts seats dont fold down ( top folds up behind them )...

Theres a hole on the back of the trunk, right on the faux cap... you insert the key, twist it and it pops the trunk

Amazing technology, isn't it

So wait- there's this key thing, right. It goes in the.....key receptacle thing, and you like, turn it?

That's so 80's.

You touch you car with the key? No wonder your car hates you ( or maybe because you ordered it in that damn color )...

I became very familiar with the key hole when my trunk poping mechanism got fucked up... or do ye not remember me bitching about it...

2006greyGT · February 19th, 2008, 06:28 PM

I accidentally shut my keys in my trunk at the golf course last fall... there is not a release anywhere... the spare set was only 5 mi away so it wasn't too big a deal. But for sure ther isn't any button

DanTheMan · February 19th, 2008, 06:48 PM

oh, well excuse me for my mis-information. sorry guys. kinda weird to not include a button...
