Yes I made another pin that holds the pivot arm to the plunger. It extends out with a loop so I could hook the pull cable and added a return spring to help it return to the up position!
The car has been long ago sold, at least 10 years ago, so the exact details I can't remember! |

Like the spring, the pull wire pases through the base near the plunger; did you just make a hole or is that a tube ? |

QUOTE(struckn @ Mar 22 2013, 05:52 PM) Mine is to the right and above the rear Tag on the Bumper. You can't see it. I don't have a emergency pull, might have to check that out. Me too, but to the left in my F/G bumper. Emergency pull is only a hole in the bottom of the trunk that I would have to push a wire through. I did have to use the wire once and I had a battery sitting on top of the hole (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) But it still worked after a lot of pushing and fishing. BTW, My mechanism is home made and may have used a Honda solenoid. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

I used an extra fog light switch with a blanked-out red lens (polished the emblem off a lens from a hazard switch) for my trunk latch solenoid. I mounted it in the pre-existing cutout for the rear-window defroster switch. This gives two advantages: a clean factory appearance, and the ability to keep the solenoid engaged if I need to apply some pressure to the trunk lid to get it to unlatch (which is a frequent occurrence). It alos lights up when engaged, which I like.
 (Sorry about the crappy phone pic in a dark garage). I also used a spare engine lid release cable as a manual "emergency" override with the handle accessible under the left rear fender. |
