Rear trunk question? (Page 2/2)

First post, just bought an 86 2m6, and I'm having the same problems.

Where do I test to see if I'm even getting power at either end?

First, check the black/white wire at the trunk release solenoid on the deck lid (Have someone push the button while checking for voltage)...Then check where the wire disconnects at the front of the deck lid.....After that (If you did not see power at both of those locations) check at the switch in the dash; Orange wire is POWER, while Yellow/black wire is switched power going to the relay.

I am not sure where the relay is, but you can then go to it and check for A) Power in from the switch and B) "Relayed" power coming out.

Remember that the Relay has a requirement for the (Automatic) gear select being in Neutral or the (Manual) Parking brake being engaged (If the KEY is in the ON position) If the key is off then the switch/relay/trunk release should work no matter what.

So my trunk problem is now solved. The switch was completely dead. After a few YT videos, and seeing the suggestions that too many people push down on the switch instead of up, I figured $14 was a lot less that hours tracing wires. And sure enough...

This wonderful little thing installed easily, and first gentle push in an upwards direction my trunk opened.

But in the same stretch I found out my cassette player doesn't work, so one step forward, one step backwards.
