Description
Will pay $40 for an auto mechanic to fix this wire in my trunk. Should take 20 mins and the instructions are very clear. I don’t need it soldered, electrical tape is fine.
Details of the fix here:
1. Use the key to manually open the trunk.
2. Remove two plastic pins holding carpet/panel on the driver side of trunk. Pull carpet/panel away carefully.
3. Remove plastic cover on left trunk hinge by unfastening pin at top of cover.
4. Follow the wires until you find where they are severed.
5. Strip wires slightly.
6. Put a piece of shrink tubing over one side of the wires.
7. twist severed wires back together where you stripped and exposed the copper.
8. Solder the wires.
9. Pull the shrink tubing down over the exposed copper.
10. Heat the tubing so that it shrinks around the exposed wire.
11. rewrap wire so that it follows the left hinge in a manner that is will not get cut again. (I wrapped the at risk area in duct tape, not pretty, but it was effective).
12. Reinstall Panels.
If you want to do this I am 5 minutes by foot from medical center Marta. Or if you live 5 miles from Sandy springs I can drive to meet you. Text me when and where you can do this and for $40 cash. Thanks
