The trunk actuator (trunk release motor) went out again on my car a few weeks ago. I thought it was the same problem of a worn out trace. Nope; that was still fine. The new problem was a broken tooth on one of the gears in there.
I went and hit the wrecking yards on Hwy 99 in Lynnwood today and scored a like-new motor assembly for the measly sum of $2.50 (new, the assembly costs around $124.00). Also scored a nice cargo cover for the fiancee's Escort for $6.50.
If you have a problem with your trunk actuator (on the car!), I can remove it in about 2 minutes. no big deal. Putting it in is not a big deal either, just have to do it in the right order.
Since it's supposed to be sunny again tomorrow, I'm hoping to install the "new" motor assembly. (BTW--I opened it up and it does, indeed, look like new!)
