Have searched threads but unable to find if anyone has had this concern yet. 03 300a with 43,500 miles, when put into reverse or into drive and as it passes reverse with indicator trunk pops open. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

id look for shorted wires in the trunk lid itself, this is the most likely area where the wires for the backup lamps cross the wires for the trunk lock solenoid.

Check in the left side of the trunk near the trunk lid hinge, that's where the connector for the reverse & trunk release is located. If not there then you'll have to check where the wire harness runs along the left side of the car under the sill plates. Still under warranty? Take it in to the dealer. Keep us informed please.....

I just sold the car last week (very sad), I work at a ford dealer, guy at my body shop bought it. But it is out of warranty and thought of checking here first to see if known issue prior to running some diag time on it. Thanks for replies and any future ones as well.
