garytipping Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hi, I need to replace my trunk release switch, only the rear hatch releases from inside at the moment. Can anyone run me through the process please. Cheers Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushman Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 does it release from the key fob Gary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garytipping Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 Yes it works fine from the key. The switch feels 'broken' Cheers Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushman Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Ive seen the double switch pod for sale on Ebay for a few quid, just type in Porsche 987 switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morghen Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Maybe its your door open switch that's broken. Sometimes the release of the trunk from the car dont work on my car either, sometimes they do. The car does not know if the door is open or not so it does not release the trunk...but sometimes that door open switch works and the trunk opens right away.

garytipping Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Thanks for the replies. Does anyone know how the trunk release switch is removed? Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hektor555 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Hi Mate, I have just bought a new switch for my car from 9apart and there is a guide on utube for fitting replacement carbon sill trim (not to my taste) but it does explain how to remove/replace switch and the tools required, hope this helps, Paul.

garytipping Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Thanks Paul, I'll have a watch. Cheers Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavrik Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 My front "Frunk" interior switch is also broken... Its fairly easy to remove but its likely its not the actual switch that is the problem! I took mine apart & found that one of the switch hinge tabs had broken off... I reversed the switch to test with the rear hatch trunk release (which works with no issues) & it still didn't work so doubt its the switch that's faulty? I haven't bothered investigating further as I just use the key blip buttons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garytipping Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 I've purchased a new switch, may have chance to fit it tomorrow, hope it works. Prices for the switch varied greatly. Design911 were most expensive at £96! I ordered it from 9apart yesterday and it arrived this morning for £67. Thanks for the replies. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
