I need to pull the boot apart to install the actuator for the VSS muffler I bought from Chasta.. Lining this up as a pre-Christmas bludge day project...

Whilst I am mucking about in that part of the car, what the hell, how about some cheap Chinese eBay parking sensors...

Questions...

  1. Is there a feed to the reversing lights somewhere in the boot area, rather than having to get into the tailgate to pick up the feed?
  2. What wire do I cut to disable the reversing alarm, as I think I am know old enough to know if the car is in reverse or not... :yes:
  3. Black sensors fitted in the bumper, or silver sensors fitted in the "bumper panel" mounted on the boot lid?

Think that is it for now...

Thanks for looking.

1. The wiring would go down one side or the other, but by the time you chase it back from the lights you'd have already had it connected. Unless someone else happens to know exact colour/s etc

2. From what I've read it's part of CAN-Bus so can't just be 'cut', unfortunately.

3. I'd go lower down for better visual appearance (IMO) & ease of access for wiring.

Post some pics when done, yeah?

1) You can access the reverse wiring at the top of the boot lip behind the plastic pannel in the middle of the roof. It pulls out quite easily. From memory it comes from the drivers side of the car so probably runs from the front of the car down the drivers side.

2) I think that you will find this hard to disable.

3) fit the sensors to the bumper.

Good luck.

      I couldn't agree more. As an owner of a built high HP skyline, I'd be a hypocrite to not buy a Hummer for the reasons you listed though haha.

      Stagea boot lid probs

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Is this the one? https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php?id_product=2192&rewrite=nissan-stagea-c34-rear-boot-actuator-assembly-90550-0v000 Might be worth having a look at yahoo japan as well. Though it seems a bit odd. If the motor works itself, other than being noisy, then wouldn't it be more likely that it's an electrical issue somewhere else? And it being noisy does not seem as surprising if it has been chugging away for months

      Stagea boot lid probs

      By BCs300z · Posted

      I know this thread is quite old, but I found it, it helped me, but I also wanted to add my experience and troubleshooting finds to the chat for others. I have not been able to open the rear hatch of my 97 Stagea for several months. Figured it had just really sealed itself up over the winter and I would just get to it eventually. Well that day was yesterday. Some time ago, I noticed my battery was going flat all the time. It was frustrating. Then one quiet night in the garage, I could hear and ever so slight humming / grinding noise coming from the back of the car. It was like a really quiet popping sound or something like sand in a very low speed blender. I took off the panels in the back and noticed the noise coming from the auto close motor, so I unplugged it and the noise stopped. And the auto close was disabled. Well, fast forward to yesterday, I tried all the tricks with power and fuse and lock and unlock and I still could open the damn hatch. So I took off the panels from the inside and found the auto lock had engaged and was stuck in close position. When plugging and unplugging the fuse, I could hear the relay clicking. So I plugged the autoclose motor back in, and the damn thing let go. And immediately started making that grinding sound again. This time, instead of just unplugging the motor, I pulled the fuse, thus depowering the relay entirely. I don't have the autoclose feature now, but at least I can open the boot and not have my battery being sucked dead all the time. Not sure what caused the motor to latch when it was unplugged from the system, but I am pretty sure it won't cause any more problems now.  If anyone has a lead on a new motor, please let me know. It's a cool feature that I would like to get back.  Hope this helps.
