I just finished installing my B&M tranny cooler which was a bitch to get right and when I went to connect the positive terminal, which is always hard to get back on, I'm 95% sure the rear hatch released. I didn't even know the 4th gens came with a electric hatch release which I always thought was wierd since my 3rd gen had it. Is it possible I only need a button to make it work. Thanks.

 

So what you're telling me is that there isn't a yellow button by your left knee when you are sitting in the drivers seat? Thats weird I thought all cars had them now days

 

Accidental discoveries are the best

Electronic trunk release has been in cars since 80s as far back as I can remember.

If you have power windows and doors, you have got to have an electronic trunk release.

Look for a yellow square button by your left under the steering wheel column area.

 

These's no yellow button but when my neighbor owned the car he did install power windows, when the passanger side motor went llast year it wasn't fun at all getting the new one in there.

 

hmm... do you have power locks?

I 'am guessing you have a stripper.
