If I remember right, I saw one in an '85-'86 in the kick panel. I may be wrong on that, though.

Also.....I think Ford just extended the harness with another pigtail, so if you find the original near the glovebox, that should help. :)

Well, yesterday while taking the dash apart AGAIN. Bernie and I found the harness to the trunk release wrapped up with another harness that runs above the glove compartment. I attached a release button that I had gotten from the junkyard and it works well. I took a second look at the hole at the center top inside the glove compartment but quickly determined that this is not a hole for the release, as I had mistakenly thought. There are no other holes that the release will fit in so I feel safe to say that 1986 FHP Mustangs were not ordered with the relocated trunk release button.

Having said that, it is a convenience and it does not look bad in the relocated position that other departments ordered it with. I think I will place a trunk release button in the relocated position on my '86. I am thinking of placing it to the right of the steering column on the plate the can be removed, just in case in the future I decided no to have it visible all I have to do is change that panel.

What do you guys think of this?

Sounds like a good idea to me. Easily changed back to stock and more convenient than reaching over a passenger all the time to get to the one in the glove box.

Check out these photos on this ebay ad. It shows a Colorado SSP with two photos of the Popper button to the left of the radio under the instrument panel.

Hope this helps, if not, sorry...

I think that's where it's going to end up.:thumbsup:
