I was wondering if anyone else has run into the problem of their fuel door latch and trunk latch not working and what they did to remedy the situation?

The Fuel door still unlocks with the switch, but doesnt pop open. Good thing I have long arms and can manually pop the door while pulling the switch on the floor to unlock it, but it would be nice to know how to fix that.

The Trunk floor latch broke off and now the only way to open the trunk is by hand. The 94 coupe is not the most convienant thing to open when you have no real handle to open the trunk with, so fixing the popper would be nice. Maybe I'll put it on a remote. Anyone ever done that, or fixed the original problem before that can give me some advice?

Thanks.

there is a spring that pushes the fuel door out.

try to put a generic spring on the door so it can push out when u pull the lever..

about the trunk ..

Install an ebay trunk popper, i put one in for my alarm and its costed about 18 bucks shipped... is pretty easy... i would recomend drilling holes instead of using zip ties..

If I had access to my car i would show u how i mounted the system.
