You can get a kit, 3 pc. has wedge to wedge in door, has inflatable piece to pump up and a long handled piece to unlock or grab keys. at any auto parts store
take the scerw out of inter door handle then take the pull handle to shut the door off then the pull the door skin off it pops off then there is a rod that runs to the lach u pull it the door will open
go to auto parts store or retail store to get a tool called panel popper. it has 2 prongs shaped like a wrench on a shaft (like a screw driver). check panel for screws to remove and after remove screws, use panel popper to pry the panel up. put the panel popper near the plastic tabs that hold the door in place.
should be screws behind rear door handle u have to take cover of screws will be behind u also need to remove the winder 4 window if manual and not electric the panel itself will be held on with poppers just grab bottom of panel and pull hard then work yuor way up sides once you have unclicked poppers from bottom and side of panel grab panel and push upwards as most weather strips are attached to the panel .
Door panel is easy to take off. you need a screwdriver and a panel popper (or if you don't have one carefully pull the panel off with your hands, you may have to get new panel clips) ,they are cheap so no big deal.
Here is what I did. I folded down the arm rest in the center of the backseat. Then you will see a plastic piece that is held in by a few clips. Pop this rectangular plastic piece off and put it to the side. Now for the fun part. Take a jig saw or saw zaw and cut a hole through the plastic seat backing behind the plasic rectangular piece you just popped off. After you cut a hole in the seat back you will be able to take something long, reach in and pull the trunk popper in the back of the trunk. What I used was a cane with a claw hammer taped to the straight end of the cane and then used the curled end of the can to hold onto and pulled the little trunk popper handle with the claw of the hammer. Use a flashlight and shine it in the hole you made so you can locate the white handled trunk popper. It is in the very back of the car in the center and it hangs down from the trunk lid if I'm not mistaken... Also I was just told this and have not checked to see if its true but I guess you can pop the hood manually(without needing a charged battery) and look for a battery post located in the engine bay that connects to the battery in the trunk. This way you can hook jumper cables up to this post therefore bypassing the battery in the trunk altogether.
Hope this helps........
Now if I could only figure out the slow draw in my 2004 Lincoln Ls
Actually its more of a fast draw. Everynight I have to put it on a 2 amp trickle charger so it will start in the morning. I've been doing some research and will be dusting off the multimeter for some testing tommorow.
you need a long screw driver, 10mm, phillips, torxs bits, trim panel popper and a pocket screw driver. if you can hear the actuator working thhere is a plastic replacement boot. pop up the switch cover from the fron. remove the rear reflector/light remover 10mm bolts(3). remove the torx and the open handle cover. then use the trim panel popper and remove the panel. then take the long screw driver and follow tow lock rods to the ned then twist the screw driver. two more rods need to be removed at the back. one has a adjustment. do adjusted it! then remove the torx 30 latch in the outer door part. remove the latch. then two torx 10 on the actuator remove them. at this point you will see a pastic rod that is not connected because the boot came off or the actuator is bad. install the new boot in the latch then take the place rod or the actuator push it into the boot at a 45deg. then swing it down. o ya make sure the gears are aligned top all of the way to the right and the bottom to the left i think. its the same as when you pull it a part. also do not over tightend the actuator to the latch. have fun
can you still open it through the key? does the pull down motor not work at all? if the pull down still works it sounds like the popper has just gone weak/bad . they need to be replaced after so long. seeing as you should have a keyfob and a button in the car. im assuming that means its the solenoid switch for the trunk release which is a 30 dollar part.
