I installed the trunk release switch inside my car today so I don't have to fumble for my remote to unlatch the trunk. Well worth the little bit of time and the few $$ it took.

The switch was less than $10 from Ford and couple of dollors for two spade connectors, a ring connector, a few feet of wire and a T-tap splice. Probably about $15 all together. About an hour or so to do.

I see that you're in my area...
Any chance you'd feel like doing another install?
Sure, where do you live?
Kooldawg and Stangdude2000 both know me if you need references.
EDIT:
The FORD part number for the switch is:
D3AY-19C542-A at your Ford dealer or online from:

I already have everything else on hand.
PM me...
Go to this link, this guy has made a great write-up on this proceedure.

It is even easier than the write-up looks. It only took me about an hour or so to do.

Looking forward to seeing you... Get a switch from Ford and we can do the trunk release to your car then. I have everything else.
PS: Don't feel lazy, remeber I am retired and have a lot of free time. I made a new shifter handle this morning just to add a little "Flair" to the shifter and toggle...

Nothing against SHR or BBR who also has a kit, but it's $29 for less than $15 worth of parts.
+1 and for some people its easier to just make one phone call and get the whole thing delivered.
Point well taken
I am such a DIY freak I sometimes forget that other people feel better with kits.No offense intended.

I'm like you, I'd rather be hands on with any project concerning my vehicles, as long as I have the right tools and know how for the task.

Suddenly that reminded me of my old 5.0 All you need is a fuel pump reset switch below it and you're in business.
