<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I have a question for all the people with trunk release switches.
Does your switch work when your car is running?
Mine only seems to work when my car is turned off.
I'm hoping I don't have another electrical problem to locate.

Mine does work when the engine is running but it is designed to only work
with the e-brake on when the engine running. It should work anytime
when the engine is off. I do not know if it is different with automatics.

Automatics, must be in Park, Neutral or engine off to get it to work. However many people, hotwire it to work all the time.

thanks for the info.
i have an 5sp manual and i have tried with the brake on, the brake off but the lock only seems to work with the car off.
again thanks for the info, it looks like one less electrical problem to try and solve.
