In 1982, GM laid the wiring diagram in cells for each circuit, however they also chose to use the same color wires for each vehicle for the same circuit function. So BKL= GRD and Tan/Wht = B+ to trunk lock. This reduces labor cost for warranty to trace down a fault. This is true with connectors as a the same color is on both sides. (Note) The Tan/Wht wire can be used in other circuits like ignition coil #5 trigger wire. After all, there are more circuits than color combinations! Right? ASE Master 78, retired.
how do you open a trunk on a 1951 Chevy car, without damaging it further? It's really a shell; no keys of course. The lock that you would insert the key is missing. It's shut tight. Thank you.
Could you do a video on a 2007 infinity m35? Also do you know if this could cause any electrical issues? I’m not very savvy on the electrical side of things
It's a dewalt 12V tool battery. MAC tools and dewalt are apparently joined at the hip. I've used 12V and 14V batteries without issue. You can use an 18V or 20V, but you can't leave it plugged in. As soon as the trunk opens, unplug it to prevent damage or, as you stated... fire. Most junk yards, at least in my area, or 12V car batteries. I've borrowed their batteries many times when I've forgotten my tools. (Nearly every car battery, not EVs, is a 12V battery). Best of luck!
IF DOES NOT HAVE TO HAVE THE IGINITION ON ,YES,AND MOST DO NOT NEED A KEY,I WOULD SAY YES,ALL IT NEED IS POWER,GOOD CALL,DID YOU GET ANY OTHER REPLYS?/ I WILL TRY THAT,BUT HIS WAY IS LIGHT AND COMPACT,IF YOU GETA GOLD CART,GOOD LUCK

I have this problem with my dead 2008 chevy malibu. Hopefully Wires run similar. Thanks, good video.

Could you also hook up your 12v battery to the battery terminals in the engine bay and push the trunk switch on the dash?

Yesir. I do that for seats and windows too. Good shit.
Could you go to the trunk switch and add power there?
The problem with most of these is that you can't get to the trunk switch without either destroying the rear seats or the trunk lid.
@@Mil-usos what I meant was the trunk button in the glove box. Or do they not put them in there anymore?
