NGPI sedan trunk release button

[DPDG]

We currently have 3 NGPI sedans in the fleet and have found an annoying feature. The interior trunk release button is active at all times, the ignition does not have to be on. We want to make it like the old CVPI, where the ignition has to be on. I found the following in the Ford Modifier's Manual:


Revise Trunk Release Function for Operation on Ignition Power


Disconnect inline trunk release connector located in driver side rear tail light


area. After 3-way (1 of the 3 pins used) disconnecting the inline connector, cover


the ends both connectors and secure them back to their respective harnesses.


Driver side tail light area connector 3-way connector w/1 circuit


I cannot make hide nor hair of what it is telling me. Can anyone decipher that into more understandable language, or even better, a photo of the connector I'm looking for and what to do with it?


Thanks for the help,


Greg

From what I can see in the picture,on Fords Upfitter Guide,You are looking for a Grey Plug,with an Orange/Green wire.It should be located behind/under the taillight,between the taillight,and the Power Point.To change it from hot all the time,to ignition,you seperate the plug,tape over exposed ends,and tie back the ends to the harness the wire comes from.So plugged,it`s hot,unplugged,it`s ignition.

Found the connector plug, it is light gray with a single green/white stripe wire on both sides of the connector. The plug is located approximately level with the load floor, aft of the power point. Separate the plug and the switch works as desired. Thanks for the help.
