I've done the same, they power trunk setup is fairly generic. I pulled one out of a 79 Cordoba and put it in my 72 Dart, the button was in the glovebox.
When I added one to my 87 Diplomat it came out of a similar year 5th Ave, button in the glove box. Got one out of another 5th Ave for my 65 Cuda, guess where the button is? Yep, glovebox.
Maybe yours goes in the glove box.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

All the donors I used had the switch in the glovebox was my point, guess I wasn't clear.

Its located in the glove box so there is less likely hood of an accidental opening while driving, there's no lock out when in drive,as fare as an option on 71 Bs I think I recall seeing one with it.

as fare as an option on 71 Bs I think I recall seeing one with it. from what i have read in the past and have seen first hand, i believe that in 71 electric power trunk release was not a available option. i'm not sure when it changed over but i have seen a 71 polara with a vacuum operated trunk release. (i'm guessing in 72 was the change) the electric power latch was used into the 80's and that latch will interchange with latches all the way back into the 60's. (i have seen it done in a 69 charger.) i have also heard of cars that were coded for it and don't have it and i also have heard of it in 72 cars?? now i could be all wrong,but that is what i thought it was. i have also seen that bezel mentioned in a 72 glovebox before.(that is what it was claimed to be) someone might correct me as i'm not 100% on this maybe someone with a 71 dealer option book can set us straight or shed some light on this..

Not correct for your car, but here is where it would be located in the glove box.

From page 8-165 in the Dodge Chassis Service Manual for 1971, Fig. 22 - Instrument Panel Accessory Wiring - Coronet and Charger. I believe the earlier black glove box inserts had a relief line in the form of a circle molded into the side reflecting where the switch was to be placed. It is in this location - Whether Plymouths were similar, I can't say but the Roadrunner did share many of the same parts. And they were located in the glove box so that they could be locked away preventing valet access to the trunk in the circumstance you were attending an affair with valet parking (since ignition and glove box keys were different).

I had 4 Imperials with it.they were all vacuum and the button was in glove box.Even the 71 I had was vaccuum.Might have changed over that year to electric.They had a resivoir that held some vacuum when the engine was off so they worked.Rocky
