Thread: Trunk Pop

I have a Viper Alarm System and I also have Trunk pop installed. Can Someone Give me a order of elimination to fix this....It won't open when i press the AUX button on remote.

The alarm should have a red / white strip wire, this should go to a relay. The red/white wire should send out a negative pulse when you press the Aux button, this should trigger the relay. If the relay is triggering then you need to follow the output wire to the solenoid. If this is a B14 then there is an after market solenoid near the trunk latch. Make sure you are getting 12v at the solenoid.

is this the solenoid?

yes, the red wire should go to 12v to pop the trunk open. Does the factory button work?

Yes the trunk latch works...I get 12v read out on red wire....no pop with aux button...could that mean new solenoid needed? It is a B14

B14 does not come with a power trunk. It is cable operated, so that wire has nothing to integrate into. So no trunk pop.

I had two B14 SER before my current and I have always had trunk pop auxiliary... I'm just not sure I am getting 12V readout and Relay is Connected....Just not getting a signal response from solenoid.

Thats what i first thought. Is that just a trigger for the alarm?



Do you have a factory button for trunk pop or cable? If cable you need to add a solenoid to have electric trunk pop.
