My trunk will not shut and I don't know what the problem is...
It is a 98 Mustang GT. I'm quite confident it is the latcher (the one attached to the trunk)...any tips on how it should work or if this is a common problem?
yes. i have the same problem with my 96.
I haven't figured a way to fix it other than getting a new one which sucks because Ford no longer makes them with power so they can be hard to find.
The power latches from 99+ will not fit the 96-98's. They are different parts.
The non power ones will work all the way from 94-04 but the powered ones will not!
