You should be able to look down at the lock assembly with the trunk open...push the remote and see what's going on. If you can't tell, you'll have to take the lock and solenoid out to see what the problem is. My guess is that one of those cables is out of alignment. Hank '98 Contour SE

I can see two like cylinder shaped things, one white and the other red, are these the solenoids that you all are talking about? i still havent figured out how to go about fixing it. 98 SVT #1652 of 6535 My SVT "If everything seems to be going well, you obviously don't know what the hell is going on."

SOLONOID You can see the gears...and the motor sitting inside. Note: the connection is not complete unless the sliding mechanism is in. I tried to just connect the piece with the motor in it and push the trunk button...didn't work. Then I noticed that the sliding mechanism (with the teeth on the side) has to be in to connect the current...then it worked fine. I cleaned it up a bit and put it back together. Hope this helps. By the way..this is located to the left of the lock mechanism (if you're looking toward the front of the car). It's hidden under the steel and is attached by two screws. Enjoy. HE-MAN

Close, but no cigar. What you're referring to are the termination sleeves for the key-lock and manual remote cables on the pass side of latch. Go to driver's side of latch in the body cavity, and that is where the solenoid resides. HEMAN: Thanks for posting pic. 98 Mystique LS v6 atx 163,000km 97 Contour LX v6 atx 163,000km
