trunk button ?????

[JStumpalump150]

is there a button on the inside of the car that i can push to open the trunk of my car??? cuz if there is i have not found it and it is a real pain in the ass everytime i need to open my trunk so my friends can get stuff or put stuff in it i have to turn off the car and push the button on my remote. i think its really stupid if there is not a button cuz i have never seen a car where there was not a way to open the trunk without turning off the car until now.

the main reason i am asking this now is cuz i pulled up to a curb today and went to open the trunk so my girlfriend could put her stuff in it and someone pulled up next to me and asked if my car had broken down and i just said "no i just had to open the trunk" and that is when i realized my trunk is stupid

lol thats a pretty funny story but sorry buddy, your remote and key "IS THE ONLY WAY MY SON!" - Same with my car and my girls 01 sunfire.

well i think thats pretty dumb, and i also fould an unused plug under the liner on the left side of the trunk that leads to the trunk popper thing, i wounder if i can make it go to the cabin and make a button to open the trunk, i will get pics up so you can see what im talking about

Maybe you could pull a set up out of a Cavalier that does. My 96 2.2 had a trunk release lever by the left side of the driver seat.

here is what i found when i was changing a tail light
this is connected to the trunk release box and is the exact same as the one in the second picture that is actualy connected to the lock on the trunk

this is the trunk lid from the inside connected to the lock

and this is where they all are connected

so can i make it work with a button in the cabin???

radio shack maybe, walmart has wire, they may have buttons by the toggle switches, you could also just get another key and keep it in your car somewhere so you can just grab it real quick and get out and open the trunk, you'd still have to get out, but you wouldnt have to shut your engine off for 20 seconds only to start it right back up

i just realized the connector is the exact same as the ones used on the stock speakers(which i just happen to have lying around) so i think i can connect the speaker connector to the un used one in the trunk and run cable to the cabin and put a button on the end, ill try this tomorrow if i can and let you guys know what happens

Nice man, I wouldn't mind having that either.

Yup it is very stupid that there is no button on the inside of the car to pop the trunk. Also I dont know about you guy but I cant pop my trunk unless the car is shut off, so I dont know if that popper will work .

[JStumpalump150]

remote does not work but the button on the inside might cuz i think when the car is on it turns off all signal from the remote cuz i cant lock my doors with the remote while its on either(not that i need to, i just thought i would try it once)

[my99cavy]

Well then all I can say is hook it up and try it out. be sure to let us know if that actually works because then I am definatley going to do it.
