GarageHawk Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 I seem to recall reading somewhere that '84-'91 Avantis had an emergency manual trunk latch release cable located somewhere under the rear bumper to be used in the event that the electric operator failed. I looked under the bumper of my '89 but I didn't see anything that looked like a release cable. Does anyone know if my '89 should have been equipped with an emergency release? Thanks, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwikstro Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 I didn't have a release cable on my -87. Fixed an own solution with cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdaly Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) My '88 has this located on the left rear side - way underneath - it is a very thin bare stranded wire. Check again. EDIT: OK, I'm back - I checked from the inside of my trunk cause my carpeting is removed due to wetness after every rain. So, the wire I'm talking about goes from the latch area to a hole where the wires go for the back-up lights and license plate lights.
