In general,if it has a power trunk release it would be in the glove box...Some early year vehicles{69-70} had a vacuum operated unit then in 71-up they were electric...You can't miss the early electric units...It's huge almost like a 3 speed wiper motor...

They are just coded for it. I don't know , but I have heard that rumor for years.

Think a buddys dads '73 Chrysler Newport was on the steering column too.

One is hot power to the switch, and the other sends hot power to the trunk release when the button is depressed. That does look like a factory switch in the console to me, just without the bezel as shown above.

That retainer looks stock, and your glove liner has no hole...interesting. What is the part # (s) on the latch? Last edited by getitgone; 06/16/08 12:58 AM.

NachoRT74 master Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 6,095 Valencia, España	this is coming pretty much interesting!!! when I made same question to add for my 74 no one got me the RIGHT answer so I ended making this: http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=7603.0;id=12675;image http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=7603.0;id=12677;image somebody told me was in that way though! will be great to see an original setup... Is the latch system showed on this thread the original one ? My 74 Mopar parts catalog shows a GIANT unit ( as stated by screamindriver ). Of course I know the unit I got is from a later car, but shows pretty much similar with the one showed here. Please keep the good info coming With a Charger born in Chrysler assembly plant in Valencia, Venezuela
