ISSUE
Some 2006-2010 vehicles may exhibit an inoperative luggage compartment lid solenoid. The solenoid may be stuck in the open position, preventing the luggage compartment lid from latching.

ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

1. With the luggage compartment lid open and the key in the accessory position, cycle the luggage compartment latch with the luggage compartment release button inside the passenger compartment. After hearing the latch actuate, attempt to close the luggage compartment lid.

a. If the lid closes no further action is required.

b. If the lid does not close go to Step 2.

2. Using the Work Shop Manual (WSM), Section 501-14, remove luggage compartment lid latch trim.

3. Check to ensure the electrical connector is fully seated into the luggage compartment lid release solenoid. Inspect the release T shaped interior handle for correct routing and free movement.

4. Cycle the luggage compartment latch per Step 1. If the lid still does not close, replace the latch assembly.
