1985 Manual Trunk Latch

Hello, I have a manual rear trunk latch instead of the motor version. I was wondering if any of you knew how that connects up. I can't seem to find anything besides the motorized versions.

There is a single wire that runs from the console (the is also a relay for it too found under the console), along the driver's side bundle under the carpet.

Re: 1985 Manual Trunk Latch

Found all that. Thank you. It doesn’t appear the wires are getting any power to the relay so do you know where those cables connect to on the fuse panel? I’m having a hell of time tracing them and even finding documentation on it.
