2002 Concorde Remote Trunk Release

I have a 2002 Concorde with a remote trunk release that stopped working.
I get 12 volts at the release mechanism for the interior light on one of the
3 terminals that attaches to the solenoid when the trunk is open with the
headlights on. I do not get any voltage when either the remote is pressed or
the interior button is pressed on the other terminal. I have not been able
to check the resistance of the solenoid. Is there a fusible link in line
with the solenoid? Could I have a problem with the body computer?
Everything that is on the main fuse that controls the trunk works.

There is no fusible link in line with the solenoid. There is a 6-cavity
connector on the left side of the trunk that the solenoid wires go thru.
Try resetting the BCM by pulling its fuse (fuse 19 in Junction Block)
for a few minutes. Make sure connector is fully seated - my Concorde's
deck lid solenoid quit working one time and I was pleasantly surprised
to find the connector at the solenoid had totally demated.
