hi guys i have a 01 neon se and i got a problem with my trunk lid keeps popping open i have had to remove the clip on the mechanism but this does not fix the clicking under the dashboard i woke up to a flat battery this morning after not driving the car for 2 days can anybody help me or am i doomed to go to the auto electrician and spend £40 per hour

 

sounds like your trunk poper is always trying to open your trunk (using power).. try and locate the truck pop fuse and pull it and then see if the clicking stops!

 

have found this fuse it also controlls headlights and alarm and door locks

 

Check the pushbutton switch in the glove box. If that checks out, the keylock in the trunk is also an electrical type, so you may want to check that. If the switches check out, you may have a short in one of the plugs or wiring harness itself.

 

You need to check the remotes and switches.

The trunk switch should have power to it on the BR/LB wire and ground on the BK wire. If the switch is shorted that is the problem. if it still pops with the switch disconnected then you either have short on the power wire to the switch or not the problem at all. Check voltage when it is out and if it drops off when it pops then you might have a short there. If that is OK then take the batteries out of your remotes and see if it stops. If so you have a problem there. You might disconnect the Remote Keyless Entry Module and see if it still fires if so you have a short to power on the wires to the solenoid.

Otherwise your Remote Keyless Entry Module is probably bad and is firing your trunk release solenoid.

RKE module is under the dash pad in the center.

 

thanks guys gonna check all these out tomorrow will keep you posted

 

OMG just got car back from auto electricians to find out it was my central locking control module whatever that is its gonna cost £235 just for module then £30 progamming and £35 fitting not including the £85 its cost me to find out this car gets more expensive everyday i think its time for a new car that works when you need it not when it wants to.......£385 just to get it to keep trunk closed[:@][:'(][&o]
