Question about trunk release
Has anyone else noticed there isn't a trunk release from inside the car. If you don't have the keys, you can't relese the trunk from inside the car. I hope I just haven't found the release yet. If Ford didn't put one in the cars, then that is stupid. Hopefully I am the one who is stupid.

RE: Question about trunk release
Ford apparently did all they could do to make the car affordable (Thank You Ford!) I assume that if you are inside the car, you have your key with you? Walla! An inside the car trunk release!

RE: Question about trunk release
what you ca do if you want is to at a botton to trip the relay for the trunk. the loom is on the pass side at the smart juntion box. it is a ground the white/violet wire goes from behind the juntion box to the fuse panel under the hood. so you can splice into it if you want run to a switch anywhere and ground from the switch. i hope this helps i guess also if you would rather use a hot wire you could splice in the the wire going to the latch pink /orange its under the door sill pass side

RE: Question about trunk release
Why not save all the hassles of wiring and just buy another remote? Go out on ebay and get a new one for $20. You can program the new remote to work with your car. Then, just keep it in the arm-rest or glove box. Either loose, or velcro it inside somewhere. You'll only need to replace the battery about every 18-24 months! Easy trunk button!
