Here is a pics of waht I mean.


If that doesn't work somewhere there is a how to on fixing the truck lock motor itself.





That's clever....good idea. But that's what you do when the weight of the trunk won't allow it to raise out of the latch...so it just locks down on itself. An alternative is to actually move the latch part down so that the rubber seals spring the trunk back up....myself and many others chose this route.


Anyway, based on what he's saying, when using the lever it works, when using the popper it does not.

That sounds like the actual solenoid is crapping out. Best bet would likely be a junkyard...or some members part cars out via the classifieds. Replacement shouldn't be too bad, like it was said above, how-to's are floating around.
