Wiring harness in loom at connection between body and trunk lid is showing cracked wires which can lead to a variety of symptoms when wires short. Trunk will only open manually with key. Key fob remote and inside vehicle trunk release do not work. Trunk cannot be opened when doors are unlocked using trunk handle. Other symptoms include many false dashboard warning indicators ranging from low coolant, trunk lid not closed, etc. Wiring short could be fire hazard.

Lucky i was stopped when this occurred. My engine made a terrible noise and cut out. I went to restart my engine and noticed that all my indicator lights were on. I went to drive and my power steering was completely shot. Come to find out that my power steering pump broke with no real warning. If i had been at a high speed this could have lead to a serious injury. *tr
