now I am concerned, because I just ordered the MG2 a couple of weeks ago
dont worry about it, it fit great, just need some ajustment .. im starting to feel that is a relay or something, because when i push the button on my remote, i hear a little click from the fuse box, but no click from the trunk, and when i push the release button in the car, nothing happens. can someone tell me where is the relay for this and how to test it

thanks

I highly doubt its anything other then possibly the connection has come unplugged.

Why not just take the trunk pieces out, take a stick and hit the manual trunk release?

highly doubt the relay, that clicking you hear from the fuse box is your relay actually working. it sounds like you forgot to plug the harness back in, in the trunk. You are going to have to go in through the rear tray and try and contort your body through there to get to the emergency release. sorry.

did you remove the trunk spring when you installed it. if you did not, it could be in a bind on the back side. have someone push on the back towards the top. maybe push or pull up on the trunk while pressing the button.

hi

yes i alerady try to push the trunk when pushing the button. But here are my latest news, ive check the fuse 41 and 54 from the fuse box in the engine compartment and the fuse 26 from the fuse box inside the car as well, everything is allright. so ive popup the trunk button in the secret department, and theres is no voltage at all on the cable, and finally test my button and this one is ok. Do i suppose to havevoltage on the plug? i presume yes ... so what can i check .. now i know this is not the trunk that is jam, just an electrical problem ... let me know

If you read...you can use a POLE, a STICK, CLOTHS HANGER, anything that is long and stiff enough to hit the trunk release Its going to be hard, but it has been done before. Before you go on an eletrical witch hunt, this is probably your best change to open your trunk.

As to date, I've never heard of anyone on this forum having any electrical issue with their trunk and resulting in it not being able to open. Your fuses are fine, and there is nothing that I can think of that will cause an electrical short all of a sudden that would result in some type of electrical issue that now prevents you from opening your trunk. I think in all likelihood the plug came loose because you did not secure it tight enough.
