S197 Mustang $10 Trunk Switch Mod

Found this whilst cruising around. Most 'kits' run upwards of $100.

All you need is a $10 switch from Ford and some spare time:

awesome info... glad my mustang came with this stock though... =) always wondered why the s197's didn't...

This is a must have, when working on the car and the key fob is not quick to get to. But, I hate having to tap into existing wiring, when the car is still under warranty.

I usually hate Taps as well, but if you get one for the correct Wire Gauge all will be well.

What I DO hate tapping into is signal wires from the ECU. Blech. This trunk release is definitely not a critical system.

I had to tap a few wires, when putting in Julie's Chase lights for the Mustang Monthly article. But, you're right... the trunk switch shouldn't be a problem.
