Trunk release solonoid rebuild? (Page 2/2) greenturnedblue JUN 29, 01:55 PM quote Originally posted by Eliredandblack: Since this was not mentioned. On my 88 the parking brake must be engaged for the trunk release switch to operate. The ignition switch does not have to be on. You didn’t indicate the model year of your FIERO and I am not sure the operation will be the same for every year. This is not the case on automatics I dont think.. either way you can easily test if the solenoid is receiving power with a 12v test light or multimeter. But, if you are jumping it directly to the battery and grounding it and it still isnt working sounds like its dead ArthurPeale JUN 29, 03:29 PM quote Originally posted by greenturnedblue: This is not the case on automatics I dont think.. either way you can easily test if the solenoid is receiving power with a 12v test light or multimeter.

On mine I may or may not have to unplug and replug a couple times to get the contacts to make better contact. I need to properly clean it out and use some dielectric grease at some point.
