go to the scrappies and look for a mk5 escort or a mk3 fiesta ghia, these models have soleniods fitted as standard and you can see how it works before you take it out. there are other cars with soleniods fitted so have a look around.

i used a normal central locking motor. Cos i had removed the rear wiper/motor i used the wires that were in place for that. I used the purple/black from the wiper motor, and then just earthed it to the boot. Then, when i switch the rear wiper on, it opens the boot. The reason i use the purple/black is that this wire is supplied with intermittent pulses of electricity so it pulls the motor just long enough to open the boot. Then the spring in the locking mechanism returs the motor to the original posistino after the power is turned off. If you want pics, let me know
