SOURCE: 1994 lincoln twon car trunk will not close at all

the latch has come loose.. use scewdriver and adjust them to the point that it will close then make sure screws are tight

SOURCE: Trunk will not close at all

check the pull down motor toensure it has not been broken, i have heard of this before and the problem was when it got slammed it broke the motor. as far as not latching release the trunk and see if it will operate normal. if not lightly press it downand see if it will latch than, the semi-cirle catch must be open and will look like a small mouth when it is opened up.

All you have to do is bring it in and it takes 2 minutes...to make it like a regular manual car trunk...they tap the part where it closes and it works just like a regular trunk. Much better because I always thought I'd get my hand caught in the automatic. One of the guys at the Service Center did it for me in 2 minutes for free:)) Don't get a new motor just make it manual. Plus the trunk open switch still works as usual.

SOURCE: Trunk wont pull shut.

You have a pull down switch that activates the pull down motor for the trunk lid to close. The manufacture of this part supplies this to Ford & General Motors vehicles. You can go to a Cadillac dealership & purchase this part far cheaper than at Ford. I use to work at a GM dearlership & my neighboring Ford dealer would order this part from me for the cost of mine where less than the cost from Ford. Figure those guys out at Ford. No wonder they don't need a goverment bailout

SOURCE: change my trunk from electric to manaul close

Yes, you can change your present trunk latch to manually close by taking it apart and screwing the metal loop down a couple of turns and put it back together. Unplug the electric connection. Test the closing. You may have to repeat this for adjustment.
