Don Hudd Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I have a 1989 and the truck will not open with the key, inside button or reote. I can haer relay(I think) clicking, but won't open. Any suggestions? I also need a touch screen if anyone knows where I can find 1.Thanks, Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Greg Ross Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Have a look in your trunk directly below the trunk release solinoid. You should find a "dime sized" disc, that's the activator end off the solinoid after it fails/ breaks off.Step 2 Contact Jim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 BTW you do know about the orange lever on the trunk lid actuator ? Reach through the passthrough and press down to open. If that does not work the two screws holding the latch or the acuator to the body can be removed and opened that way. You need a loooong extension and (I believe) a 10mm socket.

Reattatude Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I better go and look at all this interesting stuff BEFORE my trunk lid decides not to open! Actually, my trunk does leak a lil' bit, must be the rubber seal, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kingglory Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Have you figured out what the issue was? I have the same thing going on. I hear the relay poping but wont release the rear lid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Relay goes "click" solenoid goes "CLUNK". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kingglory Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Mine is not broke off and still not working. I am sure this will be a fun part to find.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Hudd Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 I did fix it, it was that there was no power to it. I jumpered a wire from the power antena, can't remember to which teminal side of the relay box but will look tomorrow and post.Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Hudd Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Ok, what I did was cut the orange wire with black stripe that is to the right when looking at the solenoid(there are 2 orange wires), then I jumpered a wire from the power ant. that has constant power and low and behold, it works!!!

Guest Richard D Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 So it works as it should when jumped or when you touch the orange/black wire to the hot at all times antenna wire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kingglory Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Just had the same problem. It was all grounding..Nothing worked on mine either. All fixed now. On to the dome light issue now, LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
