no it doesn't. it comes into the circuit right before the relay.(it bypasses all the other switches

does anything else run through the park/neutral switch? door locks from park to drive? auto unlock after drive to park and engine shut down. Just trying to understand the big picture and rule out possibilities as logically as possible...

there is no control module for trunk release. the remote side has a module, but it ties in a the relay. the mechanical side is completely independent of it.

i just took the switch apart and there isnt much to it. literally you just push in and the contacts touch and there is a spring return..should i just clean this up or do i really need to get a new one? cant really see anything that could "break" here...

glad it'* only the switch, it'* an easy fix or swap. Try cleaning the contacts first, if it doesn't work just swap it out.
