Trunk release switch

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.

Nice work! What was the overall cost?

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:

I already have everything else on hand.

PM me...

Could you post what is involved in doing it?

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.

Damn, man...making me feel like such a lazy ass!!!!!
I'll come up there next week and see all your 50,000 new mods since last time

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...

I also did the Trunk Release Switch in my Mustang. I had saved one of the switches from when I was parting out FOX body Mustangs and used it, so I saved a few bucks there. I have to agree though, very cheap, easy install! I really enjoy having this feature inside the car.

Will do!

SHR now has a kit.

Nothing against SHR or BBR who also has a kit, but it's $29 for less than $15 worth of parts.

I agree, Casey. But some people like these sort of things.

+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.

No offense taken.
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.

I would put the button somewhere else so somebody breaking into the car can't access the trunk. When I first got mine I thought it needed one but later realized no I dont cause my stuff in the trunk is more secure. Not to say if they really want in bad enough they can go thru the back seat.

BBR makes a nice one that installs in the center console.
