Author Topic: Wanted -- trunk popper solenoid (Read 14216 times)

The trunk popper solenoid is rusted solid on the 3800 car I'm working on. Which explains why no one was able to open the trunk by applying voltage.

Somewhere, I saw a thead on fixing that solenoid. My feeling is that, once it's failed me, I replace it.

I have one you can have if you decide to come by sometime.

Is the popper the same on the notch and fastback? I've got a notch lid stashed, I'll check and see if the popper is still on it.

Got my cars confused. This Formula is still in Notchie form.

The solenoid is the same in any case.

I checked the 2 lids I have and no poppers. I will check the kermit car tomorrow.

Actuator rods and their spring are worth retaining. They are specific to notchback or fastback with the fastback rod being longer.
