If you don't feel comfortable soldering or cutting the insulation on that wire, a t-tap works great too.

that rocks, as soon as i found this article i went out and put one in my car. i took the trunk release switch out of my 89 lx racecar as i don't have it hooked up anyway and about 15 minutes later it works like a charm. sweeeeeet.

Glad to hear it worked. I'll have another writeup once my trunk monkey switch comes in from alan at speed of sound.

I got a ford switch, only $5. Does it wire up the same way? Just two prongs on the back of it

Post the Part number if you can, I went to a Junk Yard and got one from a 89 Lincoln it's recessed works great.

That is an employee cost though

ok, need help. Have one side of the switch grounded. Can't find where the other one goes. Which harness? Can anyone PLEASE show me a better clearer pic of the harness and wire I'm looking for? Thanks guys

 

[Redfireshaker06]

Nevermind, I got it.

Good find. Why the heck didn't Ford make a trunk release button for the S197?

 

[Redfireshaker06]

Looks stock on my car, perfect, cheap, easy upgrade. I just found the wire running down the side harness. Easier to get to. Funny how the littliest things are so convenient

I do too, that's why if you look at the pic for mine, I still have the front cup holder...gotta have a spot for my energy drinks...haha. I'm going to get the SOS center dash pods too, so that's where my N20 gauge will go.
