[Shotimes] keyless trunk release

[Justin Schick]

You may also have to adjust the position of the latch itself. The two
bolts that hold it go into slotted holes. On mine, I loosened them and
then slowly pressed the trunk lid closed for a perfect fit.

When mine would do that, I just twisted (tightened down) the rubber
bump stops that the lid closes against. You should be able to find a
spot that is not so loose as to rattle, but allows the solonoid to
release it.

it won't open with the keyless code. With the cable disconnected from
the
latch, I have confirmed the solenoid does pull in the cable. The latch
mechanism seems to move smoothly and I have lubed it. However, when
the
whole thing is assembled, the solenoid is unable to open the trunk. I
can
hear the solenoid operating but it does not open the latch.

It seems like the solenoid is unable to generate enough force to pull
on the
latch adequately. I have tried swapping with another high-mileage SHO;
this
had the same result.

Can a solenoid weaken over time? Should I be heading to my local Ford
stealer for a new solenoid?
