Trunk release suddenly not working after radio install (Page 1/1)

Hey gang, had a radio install guy, put in a new radio…. Can’t find any cassettes (lol). It could be coincidence, but now the electronic button for trunk release is not working…. No click sound, but when I push the button the dash brake light lights up. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Trunk release has nothing to do with radio power.
Solenoid grounds through the 'catch'.

First check the decklid harness connector.



On 84/85 models the decklid wiring connector is on the driver's side decklid hinge.

I found the problem.... plastic clip on trunk had come loose. Thanks for all of the feedback.
