Rear trunk question? (Page 1/2)
kevin AUG 07, 07:25 PM
Fellas,
I got a problem?
Does anybody have the trunk wire schematics for my ‘85 Fiero? My “mechanic” totally messed up (crossed up ALL the wiring) so completely, that I no longer have my rear inside trunk remote solonoid?
I need help from someone who can show me how each wire is supposed to be hooked up? [OEM]
I appreciate your assistance.
Cordially,
kevin
Pa. My trunk torsion bar(s) also need to be fixed/replaced.

Hey Kevin; I have a 1985 and a 1988 service manual, and also the Haynes manual......The trunk release wiring is pretty simple- power to the switch, which then goes to the trunk release Relay......There could be a problem at that point- either an automatic trans needs to be in "Park" to allow actuation, or with the manual trans you need the Parking brake set (Although I do not have to do this)

The only other possible problem is that the Fuse should be checked (Courtesy/Lid)



Here is a "Improved" version of the diagram...

Hello Eric😊
As I stated, my (dash) inside wiring, and all my connectors are perfec and all clean!👍
My problem (that hopefully a PFF members can assist me) is the wiring schematics at/on the trunk lid?. My “mechanic” rearranged all the underside of my deck lid wiring? What? Now I can not figure out what wire, (from my front seat) goes to what particular deck lid connector? Before I took my ‘85 SE to this guy, EVERYTHING worked as at should be from the factory?
I was thinking a PFF member could possibly supply me a picture of the stock unmolested deck lid?
I hope my writing clarifies my problem🤨.
Cordially,
Kevin
Ps. I can drive my car, to wherever, to get it fixed $

kevin may i also recommend a strut kit for your deck lid. http://rodneydickman.com/pr....php?products_id=113

I've never replaced the rear torsion bars with a cradle still in the car. I cant imagine how big of a pain it would be with the v6 in the way.

So if that is the only issue, it's 1 wire to the solenoid that is black and the connector for the one wire should be at the driver side decklid hinge on the 85.

OK- After a while I can usually "Comp-Re-hend" what others have written. Here is some pics...BUT.....I swapped my Notchy lid for a 86-88 GT lid...so this may not solve your problem. Critically, the trunk release wire is black and white striped.

So was this forgotten about or was it fixed?

So, once again, did this get resolved?

Any word on this yet?
