remote trunk opener

[Silver R/T]

So I have this remote trunk opener I want to install. Does one side gets grounded and + goes to battery through switch?

[Nacho-RT74]

solenoid gets ground by chassis. The button switchs is a positive switch getting power from any acc source ( or direct batt if you want ) at one prong and the other one runs to the solenoid

On my solenoid it looks like there's only one wire...I'll post pics later if needed

Single wire is "+" voltage from your pushbutton.....solenoid gets it's ground by mounting bolts

Thanks, that's what I thought, just wanted to clarify.

Yes that's what you said.

I had one from a 77 Cordoba I mounted on a 68. Bolted wright in place. Kept wanting to blow fuses tho. Is there supposed to be a relay that the switch wire is attached to first?

[A383Wing]

No relay that I know of....

   The solenoid was gummed up and sticking when I pulled it appart. Cleaned and lubed it before installing it but it still gave me problems. Must have just been worn out.

could I test it by applying + to the contact and grounding body to the - side of the battery, would that hurt anything

[A383Wing]

Nope....should work
