I don't think we have one. The trunks on most Honda's are not electric. It's a cable that runs from the release handle to the latch on the trunk.

EDIT: I'm assuming this is for a trunk popper switch on a remote? You have to install a new solenoid for that.

ummm. Our trunk isnt electric dude. When you pull the trunk release it's really just pulling up a cable that yanks the trunk latch so it opens. Some of the accords have electric trunk releases, but not civics. On a side note, when I read the title to this thread, I pictured someone trapped in their trunk on a lap top trying to find their way out.

That's not really a problem. I stuffed my friend in the trunk of my EX and there is an emergency release handle on the inside that glows in the dark. I guess our Civics would make really bad Mafia cars.

if you're trying to wire it to your alarm, you'll have to get a remote opener from an Accord.

i put a DEI solenoid in my car for that. kinda pointless cuz the solenoid is so heavy, it hardly cracks it open. but im thinking it'll work better with trunk springs.

the ICE FORUM ON THIS SITE and all you need for the trunk pop is ONE wire that goes from your alarm to the trunk and a relay.

its the wire that senses when the trunk is open. in other words, its a sensor, the same wire that triggers your trunk light to turn on when you open your trunk. when you tap into this wire with a door trigger wire, if someone opens your trunk, it sets off the alarm. get over it, we dont have trunk release!
