Default 88-Console Latch Button

I replaced my brake switch since the 3rd brake light wasn't working...only for the 3rd light (diagnosing this was a real stumper I'll tell ya. I assumed since the brake lights worked...the switch was good but Nooooooooooo that woulda been too easy eh!). Anyhoo, as a result, the console hood latch button no longer works (the buttons on the doors do however). Any chance I moved some wires that control this button when replacing the brake switch? In other words, anyone know if any wires supplying this button are down near the brake switch wires? :confused:

...???...Rear hatch latch button???...

I have the vert, and I have that red button (or is it yellow?) in the console, but I've never used it...Too scared... :D

Probably a good chance. You have to remember too, the car is fourteen years old, and after a while some wires just become brittle and break. :chevy
Sweet car man! :yesnod:

Hey Bill, like your choice in styles; with only 20k miles she must be mint.

Are you planning on any go-fast mods or keeping it mint?

Ditto to you on styles!!! Not yet on the mods but I intend to do all I can w/o opening the motor. I'll do all air mods including MAF, MAT sensor relocation, open-air lid, K&N everything, kill the frisbee, get the Hypertech, new exhaust and I think that'll do her. I don't think I am at risk on losing "originality" with exception of the exhaust. This is my biggest concern. This car is simply beautiful and all original. I wanna maintain this originality as much as possible however, I refuse to be taken by a rice burner.

Your thoughts? You running mods now?
