Hello all. I've only just acquired my 4200 CC -- 2005. and there's a few things that don't work .. not a surprise I guess.
The current thing Id like to fix - is the cabin /glove box release of the Rear lock.
I've checked and found the following :-
The rear solenoid functions if I apply direct 12 Volts -- it pulls and releases with-out problems.
Both sets of cables are plugged in inside the Trunk lid.
The switch in the glove box - has power when the ignition is in the acc position - and goes away ( as it should) when the ignition is on
the fuel hatch release switch works fine.
The earth ( black wire in the multi plug) is good ( in the glove box)
when pressed the button in the glove box connects power to the green wire - so I presume its sending the "activate" message
But still nothing - is there a switch in the release mechanism in the boot lid.. hence two sets of wires -- ?
I presume the solenoid in the lid isn't fed with constant power? -- correct ?
is there a relay somewhere?
thanks in advance
Neil
