Trunk soft close sensor
Does anyone know what signals the pneumatic system to close the trunk snug? I've removed and examined all the pieces and can't see what does it. There is one contact switch, but that does not change its output regardless of whether the latch is in detent or fully closed, so it just appears to tell the computer that the trunk is not open, rather than tell the pump to activate.
This is driving me crazy.
