I hope this link works for everyone. Yes it's a Furd TV commercial.
If GM had taken some ques from Furd they wouldn't need a bail out. Neither would Mopar.

PS. The extended warranty I paid $1700 for is now worth Obama paper.
Hi RJ. Thanks for the link. I might consider buying a Ford again. I've always bought anything American anyways.

They officially call it an "actuator." But it is a little motor that spins until it pulls a plastic attachment that slowly pulls the metal latch that holds the trunk closed. There is a spring in the "actuator" that returns the plastic doohickey back to its original position after actuating the latch. Technically, it doesn't seem to function like a typical solenoid (but it might be). I plan to tear the old one apart and check out how it got stripped.

That's the technical name you know. "Plastic Doohickeys."

Not to be confused with "Little Doohickeys."

A completely different part. lol
