trunk lock acting up

[gsfent]

Thanks Kneale, I will take another look at the mechanism. It was replaced 
about  2 years ago after the trunk lock broke. Just replacing it didn't 
solve the problem. The stealer had to replace again and set it up like the 
newer Cabs where the trunk did not have to be locked to allow the top to 
open. I will see if it has the same ball and lever as the 91. Thx for the 
link to the repair page.
Regards,
Jerry
