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.
