My botlid has been de locked and was thinking of wireing a solenoid in to open it ( previous owner used the drop back seats method of using the boot )

Would this do the job and does anybody have any experience of these kits?

thanks

edited cos forgot to put the link in

 

Ive never used one of them off ebay i used one off a xr2i and it worked fine on a combi van i had.

 

I took a boot release solenoid n switch out of a mk3 fiesta, fitted straight in, just needed a bit of wire coat hanger to connect it to the latch!! simple

 

i got one of these mate works a treat

 

diamond mate. thats what i wanted to hear. Will order one tommorow.

they easy to fit?

 

2i release and button is what i use too
£13 posted the pair if you want em too (ive collected a few )

 

do you provide instructions as i am a bit of a simpleton when it comes to diy??? lol

 

lol well its got 2 wires 1 has a eyelet for the earth then the other needs to be joined and run to the switch then it goes thru a fuse supply (handy speaker wire in a estate version runs right from front to rear)

otherwise all you need to do is mount it suitably and connect it with a rod of some kind

in my estate i just bent the original (from the lock) thru the popper and pop riveted it onto the inner skin


can also put a 2nd switch in to be a secret way in if you lose keys or summet

i wals always losin estate keys so i had a snd button no steerin lock and the lower cowel only on by 1 screw so it was easy for me to get home ans use it till they turned up again
