Cross posted: Trunk release not working
Forgive the cross posting with the 'Under the Hood' section.

Does anyone have a schematic for the wiring to the trunk solenoid?
Problem: Remote / in car trunk release doesnt work.
Notes: When I press the trunk release button on the remote, I hear a click from the keyless entry unit. The fuse for the unit is ok.
When I test the 3 wire connector to the trunk solenoid i get:
* black / blue stripe wire: +12v
* centre wire: Ground
* black / yellow wire: no reading.
I have checked this black yellow wire and it has no continuity with the other wires / nor voltage change etc. when the button is pressed. Is this wire the signal wire?
Thanks for any help!!!?

Thanks - that diagram helped.
Right for the record I have fixed the problem. The wires were broken where the loom is clamped to the bulkhead next to the boot hinge. I think this will happen to a lot of cars because of the movement in the loom as you open the boot and the fact that they are clamped very tightly. Mine happened first because it is one of the oldest.
