Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Trunk Latch Switch Test
Open trunk lid and remove trunk lid inner trim. Disconnect trunk latch Gray 6-pin connector. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between trunk switch connector terminals No. 2 (Blue/Green wire) and No. 6 (Black/Red wire). See Fig 1 . Continuity should exist when trunk lid lever is released (trunk lid open). Continuity should not exist when trunk lid lever is depressed (trunk lid closed). If continuity is not as specified, replace trunk latch switch.
