Did yours come equipped with one or did you have to install one? Any details would be appreciated.
Thanks for not answering.
I tried to PM you but that doesn't work either.
I read some where on this page that all you had to do was hook it up but I don't want to start drilling holes before I know if this is really true. Since the wiring and controls are from a pickup I really can't believe there would be provisions for an electric trunk release.
As far as I know, all the trunk releases have an option to run a power wire to it and be able to open the trunk. I have one also. I would not personally wire it direct to the inside lights as if you need the lights for something, you open the trunk and now have to get out and close the trunk. Hide a push button trunk release switch so that just anybody can't open your trunk when you aren't around and possibly help themselves to whatever is in the trunk! Just my opinion.

Mine doesn't have one. Might only be the newer ABS bodies. Rick

Ok, got it figured out and done. The plastic housing under the trunk lid where the light is has to be removed , it is held on with snaps , mine had two rivets holding it also, not sure if they all do. I used the ground wire from the light to connect to the bottom post/ connector on the latch, there are three of them, then connect a wire from the middle post of the latch to my push button switch, also from there I ran a wire to a hot wire in the fuse box. NOTE: If you have to remove the latch , it is screwed into a plate that will move around making hard to get the screws back in. That's it you find it hard to plug the wires into the latch. My push button is located on the interior light switch panel. The latch is from a 2007 Ford Focus.
Any questions ?

Just for info, my fiberglass body does not have an electric trunk latch. Rick

1 Triker, if you have #796 it should be ABS. The ABS numbers began in the mid 500's. Also I can see the sidestep on yours has the black rubber mat which is common for the ABS models. The fiberglass models do not have it, unless it is applied after market. Mine is fiberglass and it does have the electric mechanism in the trunk, but I never connected it.
Mine broke and I had TMS send me another one. It was different from the one you have and doesn't have an electric release. Mine's a 2008. Rick
