    There's a relay on the passenger side rear firewall near the hood latch. If you have no power to the deck solenoids I would check that. You can also bypass it to see if the deck will unlatch.

      With the relay plug removed you can power one of the terminals in the plug with a jumper from the battery to see if the solenoids will release.

        It would be cool if they had a cable
        release too, like the hood as a backup.
