Trunk Release Button: lmr.com/item/S...
For some odd reason, Ford did not include a trunk release button in 2005-2009 Mustangs. This meant you relied on your key fob, or the key itself, to be on you at all times. Starkey Products stepped up to make this easy to install kit so you can add a trunk release button to the interior of your S197! This kit seamlessly integrates into your Mustang's console for a factory fit and finish! This kit includes a trunk release switch panel, complete wiring harness and installation hardware. No cutting and no drilling make this a quick and easy installation!
Features:
-Seamless Integration
-Mounts In Center Console For Easy Access
-Easily Identifiable Red Trunk Button
Installation Note:
On some 2007-Early 2008 Mustangs, Ford varied the wire colors. Refer to the Smart Junction Box diagram below to locate the C2280C connector, and then pin #21. The color of that connector will be the wire you tap into.
Mustang Fitment: 2005-2009
Item # STY-3475

I have never felt more grateful for that yellow button in my 2004 Mustang than today. Thank god!

@alejandradenizphotography 7 лет назад

MatafiedGaming Haha same here even though doing this work is really straight forward having that trunk release button makes me point to 05-09 owners lol

@MatafiedGaming 7 лет назад

TheNight3434 Haha, I used to take it for granted, but after knowing this, not any more lol

@BeaudoinMotorsports 2 года назад

It's nice to have people read the instructions out loud sometimes. Thank you

@taw0727 3 года назад

This was so easy! Not having an interior trunk release was very annoying, working in the garage without the key handy and wanting something in the trunk. Well, no more. The instructions that came with the button were great, plus having this video to refer to made it a snap. I highly recommend.

@latemodelrestoration 3 года назад

That's great to hear! We're glad that our video was very useful!

@truckindaydreamer 6 лет назад

Holy crap! I think I will keep using my key to get in the trunk.

@tortuganchannel1002 3 года назад

It’s funny how people are complaining about how much work this is. I didn’t even buy the kit, I went to autozone to buy a switch and some wire and it took me 30min. Literally this easiest job you can ever do on the car.😂

@c_wonder 2 года назад

shhh. Don’t let them know we’re all doing that, they might delete this tutorial for the wire knowledge lol. But for reals I’m not paying $45 for $6 worth of wire and switch.

@jeshua04 2 года назад

There’s no way i’m doing this on my own but the way this explained it seemed very clear and self-explanatory.

@MTXSHO9732vV8SHO 5 лет назад

White Wire.. Pink Stripe. Thanks for the tip! ;) It's not that much work, just finished and I soldered everything in... It's worth it, even my Taurus SHOs had truck release switches. My Gen3 actually had 2. Next movement... Get some more light in that trunk, the one built into the lid... isn't gonna cut it.

@sheltonsnyder7592 4 года назад

This was too easy! I have wire and a switch laying around and did it in 30 minutes, thanks

@seanfaulk2405 7 лет назад

great product your video was spot-on perfect with everything you said for my son's 2007 GT I did it in under 20 minutes thank you for your help much appreciate the video

@latemodelrestoration 7 лет назад

Thanks for the great feedback Sean. Glad everything worked for you! -Landan

Did you have to unpin anything?

@gregwallace7092 Месяц назад

I bought this release button kit and it was not bad at all and it works good so far lol When I bought the car it didn't have a trunk key and previous owner tied a pull rope to the emergency trunk open latch. I hated that shit pulling a rope to open trunk. I just happened to run across this release button and gave it a shot and was not bad at all to install. Mine is a 2005 so I didn't have to do all that extra crap for an 07-08, if that would been the case I just stuck to pulling the rope from back seat lol. But yeah it works good (so far) on my 05. I would recommend it, don't know if I would if I had to do all that extra stuff for 07 -08.

@KoukiKid 7 лет назад

Man thats alot of work for a trunk release button lol!

@c17a 7 лет назад

right! Might be worth it though

@90skidcorvette 6 лет назад

They had a chance to make this trunk release button as OEM looking as possible but failed miserably. A big red button does not look like an OEM part.

@BatBrakesBones 6 лет назад

The schematics for a 2007 Mustang read a white/violet wire from the C2280C connector, but I guess it looks pink. I don't know where you got pin 21 from, though. It says here that pin 13 is the output for the wht/vio trunk release wire from the C2280C.

@Vffr1 Год назад

Video was super helpful. Thank you! Triple

@ChrisSmith-we9rn 7 лет назад

I put the same exact kit on mine from CJPP and this kit is great but the button is always live and opens randomly when I'm driving.

@edwardsteinjolt3720 5 лет назад

Yeah...easier solution, route a cable to the actuator, use a 1 way diode to avoid damaging the SJB, use an small relay and a rocker button. All done without even opening the center console or kickpanel....... 🤣 You guys reaaaaally overdid it... Engineer hint: KISS (keep it simple stupid)

@Mss9rabbit9 3 года назад

Whats the odds on damaging SJB you think? i never did diodes, what if ill just add a button delivering power to actuator cable? no relay, no diode, just a button between power source and actuator cable? do you think i might damage anything? SJB or anything else?

@mickealevans9807 6 лет назад

I have 3 wires that are pink & white stripes...I don't know which one I'm suppose to connect it to..PLEASE HELP ME?!! 😩😫😫😫

@BeaudoinMotorsports 2 года назад

Did mine... Not working... Buttttt I'm sure it's connection issue or something. No biggy, still have to rebuild the rest of the car

@c17a 7 лет назад

Is that AUX port standard on the 05-09 mustang gt?

@bman12three43 6 лет назад

07 and up I think

@MTXSHO9732vV8SHO 5 лет назад

H no... Bought mine with a broke stereo anyway. Ditched it for a Double DIN, Android Based Head Unit/ it runs audio via Bluetooth. Who wants to be bothered with one more cable.

@ottobauch2179 6 лет назад

Yeaaaah, I’ll just buy another $2 key fob and leave it in the car....

@wendellsawyer4386 6 лет назад

Otto Bauch that’s what I find even rigged on the same panel

@90lxfox3 7 лет назад

what the newedge had one

@latemodelrestoration 7 лет назад

Yep. It was on the glove box. -Landan

@cvvmarquez7172 7 лет назад

I thought it was me:/ Now I know. Car doesn't have one.

@clintjonsson8012 4 года назад

no person with any self respect would use scotch locks, one of the worst inventions. Done my install on a 2005 in 1.0 hr. You only need to take top cover of console off, 2 screws, run ground to ground terminal under kick panel and solder into the white/pink wire. Taped the harness to existing harness under carpet.

@fuckoff4581 Год назад

I watched another individual that suggested ground on the wire. I watched you and you didn't state that it is the power that the button puts to the trunk latch. I would suggest that you fully Identify the condition of the switch that you are putting in. I could make a video on this installation that would make it so easy to Id the exact wire that all your going on with the wire harnass and pulling the plug on the passager side to find the right wire of the make is that opening the truck and pulling the cover reveals the wire colors and in fact if you use a test light and find a ground that isn't hard and put the test light pin in the right pin for the plug on the Trunk latch and hit your key switch trunk unlock, you find the wire and find that the attached wire to your botton goes to a constant power without the key being on in the ignition. The light plug is probably that power. Just a little more depth on your video would have saved me some time but then maybe I will give you a better method of finding the wire for the Truck latch.

@1notgilty 4 года назад

It's a real pain in the ass not having that trunk release button inside the Mustang. Not exactly one of Ford's "better ideas" and God help you if your key fob doesn't work or your car battery is dead. What's next, no door lock keys? The engineers at Ford who designed this fiasco should be fired immediately.
