Trunk / Liftgate: Description and Operation
OPERATIONAt all times, voltage is present at the Trunk Lid Release Switch through the Door Locks/Seat Motors Circuit Breaker. When the Trunk Lid Release Switch is closed, current flows through the Door Locks/Seat Motors Circuit Breaker, the Trunk Lid Release Switch and the Trunk Lid Release Solenoid to ground. The Solenoid energizes to actuate the trunk lid lock mechanism, unlatching the trunk lid.
On Remote Keyless Entry equipped vehicles, the Remote Keyless Entry module powers the Trunk Lid Release Solenoid to unlatch the trunk lid.
