Repairs your quasi-luxury automatic fold-down trunk

If you have a relative stuck on an outdated car whose trunk won't let you fully close manually due to a "great idea" forcing the motor turns off the last 5% for you and that "great idea" stops working as intended, this switch is probably all you need to fix the problem. There are no instructions included, but it's pretty easy to find videos online for the basics. Find your car name and "trunk bottom switch" and there it is. When your quasi-luxury trunk closer stops working, in most cases it's just a switch, not an actual motor. If If you end up having to replace the motor, you should also replace the switch as this part is more likely to fail than the motor it activates So you with this switch. If it doesn't work after installing this part, you probably need a drive motor. A train motor can cost as much as $70. That switch is probably the culprit and will only cost you $20-25 and about 15 minutes of work to do it yourself. What You'll Need: A torx driver to loosen the torx screw holding this switch to the trunk mount. Latch and a flathead screwdriver to loosen the cable connector and possibly pry the switch up on its bracket (depending on how tight yours is after removing a torx screw). Covering your trunk may or may not require tools to access the port. Working area (barrel detection). As a rule, no tools are required for this, but only manually detachable screws or clamps. Go ahead and fix your old school, not really as cool as they thought, drop the trunk.
