Hi,

First, from what I am reading, there are three possible systems. One is with an intelligent key, one without the key, and one is cable actuated.

When you try to open the trunk, is it an electrical switch you press or is it a lever you pull?

I attached wiring schematics below of both electrical designs for your review. Let me know as much as you can as far as the system you have. Also, if you are certain, it is electric, open the trunk and locate the electric trunk actuator. Have a helper press the button while you check for power at the red wire on the actuator. Let me know what you find.

Here is a link you may find helpful:

Let me know as much as you can. I will watch for your reply.

Take care,

Joe
