  A: The trunk or liftgate latch repair process starts with disconnecting the ground cable from the battery. Internal mechanical controls on the luggage compartment lid latch system allow users to release it. Begin service on the trunk latch by unscrewing the cover bolt then detaching the cover through removal of the screw and pin-type retainer. Disconnection of luggage compartment door ajar switch begins by separating its electrical connector from the door then performing the connector removal. Next follows the process of disconnecting the luggage compartment remote release motor through disconnecting its electrical connector from the door and then cutting the connector. Remove the luggage compartment lock actuator rod from the bellcrank before extracting the compartment door latch by removing its bolts as well as unfastening the latch itself.
