I have A electric trunk release for my alarm system, I was thinking insted of wireing it to to trunk itself could i use the pull tab there by the drivers seat or would that not work so well i was going to get some extra wire so i could mount the solinoid up into the dashboard area and run it down to the pull tab ? are there any cars anyone has pulled the whole solinoid and latch out of to make a system work if so what?

Electric Trunk pop

When i was hooking up my trunk pop, i was thinking about doing it by the pull tab. my solonoid fit perfectly inside the dead pedal but after rigging it up the solenoid itself did not have enough travel to completely pull the latch up. The trunk cable needs a good inch and a half to open the trunk. i ended up mounting it in the trunk with the solenoid cable looped directly onto the arm inside the latching component to the trunk. hope this helpsOriginally posted by QuashishHoly crap thats a clean F series. jellish mang.

Had it on my old CB, just use an actuator like the one below and mount it on the trunk, to pull the rod.

If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

i don't know what brand alarm you have or the exact model of CB7 but here's what i did to my 93 coupe (Code Alarm) & a 92 sedan (Marksman Alarm)... I bought an Actuator Kit (as described by evil_demon_01)(Dan's Actuator came out of a 95 Mercury Sable Wagon, lol) & a 12VDC 30/40A Relay because chances are your alarm won't have enough "Juice" to power the Actuator, most alarms commonly have about a 300mA output. There is a spare harness behind the plastic cover of the driver side taillight to get power for the relay & so i also mounted the relay there. hope this helps!

Does that mean using power from the trailer harness? I ran my multi meter through it all and nothing had power can you explain that
Thanks

Test for 12v at power antenna, if not then you'll just have to run a power wire from the fuse panel (Do you have a amp/sub installed? could run power wire from that to) whatever's the easiest wayLast edited by Co0chysCB7; 04-18-2012, 03:41 AM.

But the one's DC & I used lets the latch move freely with the Key/Trunk Release & as you see, you can use the Actuator to pull or push the latch.
