Thank you for the video!!! Called my dealership, they had somebody deliver the part to their service department the same day, called me up to come pick it up, & I replaced the part in less than 30mins after watching this video!!!👍👍👍
Thanks Man for this video! Just replaced the trunk latch on my 2014 Charger RT. Worked perfectly. Was nice to know what I was getting into before I ever started.
Heads up for the people with the Dodge Charger 15-21 (not sure if the earlier models are the same but yea). The pulldown handle on the inside of the trunk is 2 T20 screws. Make sure its the last step whenever removing the trunk liner and its the last step whenever putting the liner back on again
Nice paint job. It come like that. Rims factory? I have the redline edition . Want to buy another but opposite in red with black line .... But I like yours. Now Having this trunk issue. Window draining battery issue , airbag sensor issues and traction issues....don't know if I want another anymore. Lol
I had the same issue with a Dodge Challenger I just purchased from a salvage yard... now I tore the thing all apart the trunk latch mechanism couple of torx screws three of them. and then another little torx screw and you can take the plate off there's a little tiny electric motor in there. that pops out now I've looked around I can't just get that little electric motor unfortunately ,,but you can find these trunk latch mechanisms on eBay for under $25... I purchased a new one problem solved..other situations I've seen where it's the wires running from the trunk to the body the wires are breaking... You can diagnose this and check this yourself you pull the carpeted cover down you'll look there's a little white plastic teardrop shape thing... That's what the motor turns to Pop the trunk latch open via the same thing that unlocks the emergency cable inside the trunk... Pull the plug off the back and see if you got power at the last two on the right which would be orange and black and red and black.. you can also turn the white teardrop all the way back push your trunk button on the trunk if the motor spins a little bit and doesn't have enough power to open the trunk you know everything else is working correctly and all you need to do is replace the actuator.... Also if you're having issues to wear your doors won't lock or unlock via the switch on the door or your key fob use your steering wheel menu going to personal settings and you can figure out how to fix that.. I just got that issue resolved tonight..my door switches wouldn't work to unlock or lock the doors went into personal settings like I say on the steering wheel menu and reset a few things and now my doors lock and unlock...
My 2010 RT's trunk opens by itself sometimes and sometimes when you shut the trunk it just opens right back. I assume it's either the ground wire or the entire trunk latch needs to be replaced.
@@srt_392__ my key FOB just crapped out last week, not just the battery but the whole thing. I had a new one made, so it's possible it may have been the key causing that issue. If it happens again I know it's not the key doing it.
If you think your experience was embarrassing, how about this: I deliver pizza's part time and I put the pizza bag in my trunk because it's easier and the bag won't fit on my seat. I'm out on a run and get to the customer's house, hit the button to pop the trunk so I can get to the pizzas and NOTHING HAPPENS. I ended up pulling the rear seat backs down and climbing into the trunk to use the emergency release to get the trunk open. Not gonna happen again, let me tell you!
Get this part on ebay for under 25$.. 22.$ is what I paid for mine ..you can leave the carpet in place just pull carpet down around the trunk actuator..you can get at everything..save y'all a few minutes on this job...or take it out.. your call..👍
Well good & bad news... I bought a new trunk latch at Dodge for $65, but after removing the assembly attached to my car, I investigated the little white tab that's suppose to push the metal piece, and discovered it was just stuck. I applied a drop off WD40 on it & now it works like new. *I'm guessing it was just jammed.. I'm keeping the replacement anyways just in case the original latch croaks completely 😉

@@srt_392__ Thank you! Ordered the part 5 minutes after watching your video (which was the bomb, by the way!) and as soon as it gets here I'll get one of those tools and get that thing replaced!
@@srt_392__ Thank you! Realized later, after asking this, that the fob would work since the electrical part hooks into the part! Feeling silly! :) Thanks for the video!!!
I did all this and the new one doesn’t even move. I had the exact symptoms you had but the new one doesn’t even work. I replaced it exactly like the old one. Thoughts?
Where did you buy it from? You can first check your fuse boxes and make sure you have no blown fuses. Then I would go back and get a second replacement. I just plugged mine in and tested before complete install, which means you could check it at the auto parts store.

Thank you! You’re saving me $300
Yeeeaahh, I'll be doing this on Thursday. Preciate the vid Bro!
No problem it will be a piece of cake
Thanks for the video. But those rims though!!! Did you make a video on how you painted them?
Hey great video!!! Thanks for saving the day!! Any chance you know about the challenger seats not sliding?
My 2010 RT's trunk opens by itself sometimes and sometimes when you shut the trunk it just opens right back. I assume it's either the ground wire or the entire trunk latch needs to be replaced.
Damn that’s crazy idk what that could be maybe a body control module

What's the tool called that you used to pop the studs out?
Traveller panel / trim removal tool can get it at any auto store

What is that part called??? And can I get it from Autozone???
Sorry I didn’t respond in time but I’m glad you got it fixed.
@@srt_392__ can you send me the link to where you bought yours??
Is your car tuned?
At the time of the video yes sir
My Challenger trunk started doing this! What is the name of this part and how did you get your key fob to work on this part?
It’s called a trunk lock latch. And the key fob works just like it always has. Nothing changes
@@srt_392__ Thank you! Realized later, after asking this, that the fob would work since the electrical part hooks into the part! Feeling silly! :) Thanks for the video!!!
Do i have to disconnect the battery
No.
That's why I don't do Daimler Chrysler products, Toyota products I do..and honda and Acura.
Man I’ll take this over my civic airbag recall 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bad quality control..
I did all this and the new one doesn’t even move. I had the exact symptoms you had but the new one doesn’t even work. I replaced it exactly like the old one. Thoughts?
