Hate to be a Toadster...Trunk Problem?
The trunk would open all the way and now stops working. Only opens up a little. The motor works since I push the close button and it sucks in shut also....any ideas?

Dj, this happened on my car 2 or 3 times already. I swear my car has a mind of its own, sometimes things work and sometimes things dont
usually the trunk starts working after a few hours, I have no explanation.

Mine did this before but it went away on its own. I like to think I helped to fix it because I started pressing the trunk release button repeatedly (making the trunk open a little, then pause, then open, then pause, etc).

It is indeed the wire on the left side that gets sliced.. This is why it works partly, once the harness moves to a certain position the wire no longer makes contact and the power is lost to the system, stopped the function.
I fixed mine a few months back and took lots of pics.. Let me see if I can find the pix and I'll post it as a DIY.. You can do it in less than 1 hour..
