Trunk release

I only have a '97 service manual but it should be the same circuit. Can't get any more simple or common sense than this one. Fuse 13, a ten amp on the left side of the dash feeds the switch in the glove box on the pink wire. The brown / white wire goes from the switch to the latch solenoid.

Check for voltage on the pink wire going to the switch. If it's there, jump the two wires together. If the truck pops, the switch is bad. If it doesn't pop, check at the solenoid to see if voltage is getting back there.

Well, so much for common sense. My next service manual is for a 2000 model. This circuit shows fuse 19 feeding the switch on the pink wire, then a black / white wire goes to the Body Computer, connector 1, pin 1. The Body Computer sends a voltage out on connector 7, pin 2, a different black / white wire to the solenoid. I'm not sure what problem they found a solution to by adding the computer, but check the switch again by jumping the two wires. Check for voltage at the solenoid. If it shows up there, be sure the ground is good, then replace the solenoid.

As a hint, the decklid ajar switch shares the same ground. If the dash light turns on when the trunk lid is open, you know the ground is okay.
