Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the trunk release actuator on this 2003 Chevy Monte Carlo. It's the same part and similar process on these Monte Carlos from '95 and up. The items you'll need for this include a new trunk release actuator from 1AAuto.com and an 8mm socket and ratchet.
Open up your trunk and remove these two 8mm bolts. Push the tab on your harness and disconnect it. On the bottom is the old trunk release actuator; above it is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical, and they'll fit exactly the same.
Line up your new trunk release actuator. Then replace those two 8mm bolts and tighten them up. Reconnect the harness, and, before closing the trunk, push the button to make sure that it works. Then close the trunk and test it again.
We hope this video helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.

Customer Q&A
Our 2006 Monte Carlo trunk lid will not latch. Will this part fix that problem? we can bang the trunk down as hard as possible but it will not catch. Cleaned the assembly once and worked for awhile but now back to the same thing. thanksApril 10, 2016

My trunk release stopped working both with remote and under dash on my 2004 Monte Carlo LS. Would a new actuator fix the problem or is there a fuse I need to change?May 6, 2016

Check all your fuses first, if none are blown then this is the part you are looking for.

If when you mash the button and the actuator sounds like it's trying then that's probably the problem, if it makes no sound then it's probably the fuse.
