08 Trunk Power Lift motor failure !
#16
Installed the new latch assembly today. At first it appeared to to work. Not sure what to do, I disconnected the battery then rechecked the valet switch. Eventually it started working and it appears all is ok. Not sure what action got it going but I think it may have been a sequencing thing, in that it had to start from the open position and close. Because the first time it actually worked was from the open position when I pushed the trunk close button on the inside of the trunk door. Anyway very happy to have saved almost $900 on this repair. The hardest part was taking the inside trunk liner off. The actual replacement of the latch was easy.

Nice job! It's good to know it can be done without going to the dealer.

I was replacing the latch assembly as the trunk was open ! Hooked back up everthing and tried the close button, did not work. So i close the lid myself. Tried the keyfob to open the trunk ! Did not open. So, i tried to open with the key and the trunk was actually lifted up by itself with the motor. And after that, everything went back to the non-working stage . Did i do something wrong or is there a reset procedure for this thing ?
