Re: WHERE CAN I FIND THE SOLENOIDS!!!

Hey, the solenoids are behind the sail panels in the back. Kinda where the seat belts go in at. You'll have to remove the seat belt covers, the rear seats backs i beleive and the trip around the door to expose all the screws.

once you do that, they are just a metal cylinder with 1 wire going to them i believe (hot, as the chasis is ground)

And if you want NEW ones... just take a look around on the local banners here. TDS will probably be your best bet, and Hawks is right up there too.

Good luck.

Re: WHERE CAN I FIND THE SOLENOIDS!!!

I would not be surprised if they are a standard part and used for something else... They might be a solonoid for a Trunk release for another car for example, but a bracket added or removed for example... Keep in mind that the 87 Camaro verts used a FORD High mount brake light IIRC for example, you might find it if you do some searching.
