I would just like to say that you not only presented a clear video, but you are very good at not only showing how it works but explained in detail how it works and how you logically processed the possible problems srep by step! GREAT JOB!
Hi John,
That means a lot to me and I'm glad you found this video. Comments like yours and just knowing that I might've helped someone is exactly why I do this.
Peace!
Exactly my opinion. Just got a 1993 from my son in law with 272,000 miles and fixing little things like this trunk pulldown will make it feel nicer and newer right away. Next up, power seats!
I'd like to like this more than once. Solid solid work buddy.
Thanks for the excellent expert, clear & logical instructions
You got it. Glad could help.
Peace
I just fixed mine on Sunday 7/24/22 on my 1991 Buick Park Avenue, BUT I PERMANENTLY REMOVED THE SWITCH. I simply found the sweet spot for the height of the pull-down latch bar, & set it to be (via a temporary direct connection to the motor) and now my trunk closes & seals like A REGULAR TRUNK DOES -- MANUALLY without ever needing to engage the motor again.
Sometimes we have to be creative. Whatever works.
Peace
Thanks for the vid! My 93 Roadmaster trunk stopped closing. Turns out it just needed cleaning and lube. Works great now. Thanks for the tip.
Glad I could help. Thanks for stopping by.
Great video! I will get on it at first light! Enjoyed the clear instructions and explanation! 1999 Cadillac El Dorado
THANK YOU! This information fixed the issue I was having with my '93 Allante. SUPER communication skills here - not only showed the problem, but explained the cause and solution in VERY easy to understand (for us 'non-mechanics') facing the same. If ok, I'd like to share it with those in our group who have or have had, similar problems.
Hey Ted,
Glad I could help. Yeah - share-way. That's what the internet is all about.
Peace
My mother-in-law literally just gave me one of these I have a wrecked Mustang with the 4.6 Terminator I just literally put that motor in that Lincoln but for the life of me this stupid switch had me Dumbfoundead I literally was just going to go buy one save me some money thank you dude you just got a new sub
I'm glad I could help, Thor.
People are programmed to search for complicated answers and tend to skip the simple solutions, especially when the problem is annoying and nagging at them.
People throw out millions of dollars worth of home-appliances everyday and 9 out of 10 of them are simple, 5 minute fixes.
Peace
Thank you so much u just saved me a sum money and all I had to do was to blow out the dirt and grease it up👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 no need for a new pull down motor for my trunk thank u soo much.😊😊😊😊😊😊
Hi Robert,
I'm glad I was able to help.
Thanks for coming by and giving the video a chance.
Peace
I just inherited by dead grandpa's old '93 Cadillac Deville, it's having issues with the trunk and I suspect it's something like your issue, and this video just potentially saved me so much time and money.
Cool! That's the plan. Just blow it out real good, lube it up real good and make sure the bracket is coming all the way up and that little lever on the switch clicks. That will tell the car that the trunk is open and is ready to be closed. When you close it you'll hear that little lever snap closed and that will tell your car the trunk is closed and ready to be opened. ///
If you don't hear that lever snap into place it's most likely because the bracket is not coming all the way up or all the way down...(which is just lack of lube and dirt). If it's not that, all it could be is: the switch is broken or the motor is burnt out.
Peace.
@@JohnDisque Quick question. The wires that you used to check if it worked, were those just wires you stripped? Could i use any old wires, or does it need to be certain types of wires?
@@collinherrera6126 Any old wires around the same thickness will work.
This was the most interesting fix it video I've ever seen lol
I'm not sure if you're kidding or you're being serious... but either way - thanks for your time.
The simplicity of it is interesting... you just have to kind of see it for what it is.
Peace
@@JohnDisque I am serious, it really is a good video, I appreciate every second of it
I love the production effort that went into this video and the explanation. I've had to replace this twice on my grandmother's vehicle (1997) and I'm thinking hard about what I want to do the third time around as it's acting up again.
Hi Anthony,
I hope this video helps. It's all about knowing what each part of the unit does and why, then figuring out which part isn't doing its job and why. Usually it's nothing but dried-up and dirty.
Peace
Thanks this video helped me bypass the slightly opened trunk fault in like 15mins
I'm glad I could help. Thanks for your time.
Wanted to thank you very much for the video it was extremely helpful. Answered all the questions that I had about in settings for my trunk actuator also had some great safety information.
Excellent Video John - thank you!
You got it, Allen.
Let me know how it goes.
Peace!
Very smart I'm gunna try this tommrow thank you very much
Did ya get it? They're not real complicated. It's the same motor as your electric windows and it's almost always just dirt not allowing them to open and/or close all the way.
Let me know.
Looks a little dirty outer plastic piece that covers it is cracked and was into pieces so I think it messed something up in the inside
Thanks for this video
You're welcome BOSS. Thanks for your time.
Very helpful thank you
Hi Derick.
I"m glad I could help.
Peace
Those are $300, this saved me . GREAT video
Glad I could help, Sweezy. Have a great weekend.
Very helpful I want to add this feature to my 1990 Town Car
Hmmmm... That should be doable. Let me know how that goes.
You are legend of town car cheers
I am?
I love Town Cars and the whole history of the car. They're major luxury and still easy to work on.
I'm going to make a video documenting their whole history.
Thank you thank you!! Thanks to your video I've determined my motor is good so now I need to clean the switch next
So.... Did you get it all straightened out?
Let me know and I'm glad I could help.
Peace
@@JohnDisque sure did! Cleaned the switch works good as new
@@jeffreyshepherd8488 GREAT!
Thank you very much for sharing... I have a 93 town cartier and I need this to clean grease up my latch.....👍👌🍻
==OK update did exactly how you everything from bypassing to check motor etc...just vacuum the dirt and spray some silicon lubricant it runs flawlessly....now it works bro. your the best....Thanks to you bro...👌👍 I'm subscribing now...
Thank you very much God bless.
Hi Filam,
I'm glad I was able to help you out. Most people go out and buy the whole never knowing it's easy to clean it up and get it working like new.
Welcome to my UA-cam channel.
Peace!
Another great video.
Thank you John. This is one of those jobs that seems complicated and expensive but really isn't. It's also a very common issue that people avoid doing because they think it's over their head... when anyone can do it.
Peace
Thanks John just fixed mine

Great. I'm glad I could help.
Have a great weekend!
Clint Eastwood made this video !
He did? Well - tell him I said thanks. He really knows his stuff and has helped a lot of people. We all appreciate you, Clint!
Thank you kindly sir.
You're welcome. Thanks for stopping by.
Peace
Excellent video. I did not realize that these soft close units did not have a safety mechanism to protect the operator or kids. I thought I saw a wire manual release in one of the shots but of course you could not expect a child to understand how to use it. This is more important as a "did you know" video, and personally I did not. Thank You
Thanks... I'm working hard on getting to the point and cutting the yacking out of my videos. It's difficult because I'm a natural story-teller.... but the viewers don't search for videos like this to hear some old guy rambing about back-in-the-day.
Yeah -- they did put the pull-levers in the trunks but it was just a band-aid and after-thought that didn't satisfy the safety people and the kids (about a dozen total) ..... well... you know what happened.
It's interesting how many more kids lock themselves in refrigerators, washers and dryers (especially when they're sitting in some neighbor's back yard) but the safety people didn't do anything about that.
I like your yacking. I do have a problem with your talking while driving, the road noise makes it hard to understand what you're saying. I do have poor hearing, maybe that's why I like your yacking, if you're not driving, I can hear your speech well.
@@danespen5772 Hi Dan. I hope things are going well for you and your family.
If you like my yacking -- stay tuned for my new video being produced in December: The Complete History of the Lincoln Town Car. It's a whole lot of yacking about all the behind the scenes stuff involved with this car.... There was endless arguing with the engineers and designers... to the point of physically fighting on assembly lines while employees either quit or cheered them on.
The birth, evolution and death of this car is a fascinating story.
Some videos call for a lot of yacking.... but people with broken stuff tend to want me to get right to the point and show them how to solve their problem. If I get the urge to yack.... I'm going to put it at the end of the videos so they can skip it and go fix their stuff.
Peace!
the wire release lever in the trunk is not a trunk pop its actually for the gas door to use I guess if your relay goes bad
@@giovannogalindo8785 Right -- I think you can see a piece of mine somewhere in this video... For a few months there was another one on the Cadillac for the trunk latch but it didn't please the safety people and that's when all the manufacturers said, "F-it" and did away with the whole motor.
I just subscribed appreciate the information I also have a 92 towncar signature series identical to yours same two-tone colors minus the sunroof I recently rebuilt my 3G alternator it had some really noisy bearings and just yesterday I ran into an issue with the thermometer on the car not reading accurately so I took the ambient air temp sensor off cleaned the electrical connections put some dielectric grease and it works fine again
We need to start a FB group or some kind of club. We are a unique breed of people. No one knows everything about everything and imagine the information we could swap... the connections for parts, buying and selling, etc...
@@JohnDisque no. Just talk on UA-cam here like you are. Don't need F-Book
@@Some_One_One Huh?
So what's the deal with the switch on the trunk lid part of the latch? I push up on the lever and the latch pulls down, but only part of the time it works. I already cleaned and lubed the bottom part of the mechanism as per your instructions. I'd do the same to the upper switch, but I can't figure out how to remove it. I don't see that switch for sale anywhere and I dom't want to break it. Is the problem with the motor still?
How do you open the trunk without power battery’s dead
The Lincoln emblem slides to the right or left to expose the key-hole.
Peace
What type of wire gage did you use to test to see if motor for the truck will work.
I have no idea and don't think it matters much... you're only completing the connect for a second just to test the motor.
Peace
I’ve got a 03 Lincoln town car Cartier, when I close my trunk the trunk will latch onto the bracket but will refuse to go back down and close my trunk, sometimes it’ll go down close my trunk and then pop right back up, but it’ll stay latched, I have to use the key to open it back up
Hmmmm....
Did you watch this video yet? Go through everything I mention in the video.
It sounds like the assembly attached to the trunk or the rear deck lid is either bent or loose.
Take the assembly off, power-wash it out, grease it back up and re-attach it while seeing if anything is bent or loose.
When you test the switch and the motor make sure that long bracket is going all the way down and coming all the way back up.
@@JohnDisque yessir I did watch the entire video, this actually the best tutorial I’ve seen online. You’ve earned yourself a new subscriber sir.
@@Robert-jx8nr Hey! Welcome to the family! There's good people here and they'll be happy to reach out and help you if they can.
Thanks for your support.
Can I ask, what would make my Town car think the trunk is open when its closed? The trunk ajar light on the dash comes on beeps a few times then goes off. Any ideas or help is appreciated
TrueBlue - It's that your latch isn't closing all the way down the last time you closed it. (THE SHAFT OF THE LATCH) (100% guarantee it).
Watch the whole video carefully and it'll all make sense to you.
It's nothing but dirty.
When you close your trunk..... stand there and listen and there should be a delayed "click" at the very end of the process. (That click isn't happening with your car because the main shaft isn't going all the way down).
Take the latch out, power-wash it, put it back in, lube it all back up and your problem should be solved.
@@JohnDisque
John I watch your video
Very good. What size wire did you
Use to test the the small motor.
I am learning how to repair on
My 1997 Lincoln.
Thank you
Mine just broke in half and ende up buying a motorcraft out of ebay. Weird, I replaced it like four times in my 92 towncar and none in my 95.
you talk to much
Hahahaha
Wanted to thank you very much for the video it was extremely helpful. Answered all the questions that I had about in settings for my trunk actuator also had some great safety information.
Thanks for your time Anthony.
I'm glad I could help.
