TRunk light switch

Cool, I like this, but the Chrysler New Yorkers were always above Plymouths with luxury, and especially in regards to this. How ever, since you are saying this is for a cuda...and Chrysler only referred to the "cuda" or "Hemi Cuda" abbreviated, for the 426CI Hemi, are you actually referring to the Barracuda? Not the "Cuda?" Also which year are you refering to as Cuda, or Barracuda. That's nice you can pop the trunk from your handicap seat (drivers seat) it's a luxury, and I really don't need the trunk light because I can see in the dark just fine, but it's a weekend project I can afford to waste an hour or two, so if the switch is actually in production, it'd be nice to know where to buy one.

I have a 67 Barracuda in which when I bought the car there was no light or trunk switch. It must have gotten tossed somewhere down the line. Sorry...... I just say cuda instead of spelling out "Barracuda". I just assume members would know that my cuda is an A-body instead of a E-body since this is a A-body forum.... :D
I picked up the latch devise and the trunk activation switch that is mounted under the dash about 11 years ago. I don't know exactly the year of the New Yorker I got this from put I can try to round up the part numbers and info on what is needed if you want me too. The trunk activation switch has "Trunk" wrote on it. Don't know if this is correct way of wiring it up but is stays hot all the time. I don't have to turn the ignition switch to "ON" in order to pop the trunk.
Fun little devise. When at a cruise in with my buddies standing around I enjoy the look on their faces when I pop the trunk to get a drink or chair out of the trunk....:eek: Trunk pops up about a foot or so and just stays right there in that position.
