just baught this ap1 about two weeks ago....
i noticed the trunk doesnt open with the trunk button...only opens with the key...
i checked the trunk and all i notice it has like 2 harnesses and one is not plugged in..but i dont see any conection for it...
also notice the latch doesnt have any wire attached to it like the hood or trunk of my civic...


all i found when searching was that the trunk and light didnt work turned out being the wiring..in my case the third light works and theres 2 plugs?

 

I know this sounds stupid, but are you holding the button for ~5 seconds?

 

no i didnt i would just press it once .....didnt know about that just baught the car using it as my daily driver =] i had also just found out like two days ago where the fuel cap button was at and that the ebrake has to be up for the top to go down...
ill try that tomorow thanks

 

Yeah, you need to hold the button down for a few seconds.

 

i tried that now and still didnt open....

i looked up ''s2000 trunk latch'' on google..and it shows a latch with a plug on it..
so im assuming the plug hanging in the picture above is suppose to connect to it..im going to check if mine isint cut




question; do the trunks have the cord that controls the latch?...for example like the hood? kinda looks like the throttle cable? is mine suppose to have that in the trunk?

 

ok after doing some search on google...and some thinking i found out that the hanging harness is suppose to plug into my latch but my latch for some reason is missing the conection...my latch is missing what is circled in yellow below..

 

r u sure u can just find it it would be behind the latch

 

That's what I was thinking so I removed the latch and it doesn't have it..you can see in my pic on the first post..its completly missing..

 

weird

 

The trunk might have been replaced and maybe someone didn't install all of the parts correctly. Does the VIN sticker on the trunk match the VIN on the car?

 

more pics

 

im sure my latch is missing that part that connects to that plug..

just to make sure can anyone post a pic of there latch

 

have u removed ur latch to c?

 

Yeah they match...just my latch seems to be broken..and the owner didn't replace it cause he would open it with the key...but I baught a cf trunk and it eliminates the key cylinder so I have to replace the latch before I install the trunk

 

Yeah I did....the part that has the harness is broken off the latch...I have to find a new latch

 

You should post some info and pics about your CF trunk. Ive been looking at getting one.

 

Not really any info...the one I have is seibon..and it eliminates the key cylinder so I won't be able to open it with the key anymore...I heard some people install an emergency button using the same latch incase the stock one stops working because they won't have acess to the the trunk but I still need to read up on how to do that...

 

Dunno

 

I think this threads been over since I found the problem a while back
