When I first got my contour I had the stock keyless entry and the trunk button never worked, no clicking, nothing. Silence inside the car.

Where do I look for my trunk button? I looked in my glove compartment but there is no button. I have the latch over on the left side but it doesnt make that power trunk release noise like my dads GT or my brothers escort does (which ironically is the base model)

I really think my car didnt come with a release solenoid because there is nothing in the trunk indicating it. The car is in the shop right now getting new suspension put in but I will look this afternoon when I go pick it up.
