Trunk release. (Page 2/2) cartercarbaficionado APR 04, 10:07 AM quote Originally posted by fierofool: I have a roll of 1/8 bare single strand aluminum wire that I formed a small loop on the end to keep it from snagging. It's flexible but strong enough to push through. I pushed it through from the latch end. Once I got it to the hole at the hinge area, I placed my insulated wire end into the loop, taped it securely and pulled it back through. I don't recall that I had to change the lock rod. I think the only difference in lock rods is between the fastback and notchback locks. The trunk light wiring should already there on the 87. You should see a wire going to the switch on your latch. It runs up through the same rib as the latch release. this is for the 88 that's never worked right. much appreciated as now i just get to find the release connector
