Latch mechanism on my recent vehicle purchase is not functioning. Does anyone have drawings / parts list for this system or know where I could source components from trunk mounted handle to latch mechanism?

Acquiring a new latch is next to impossible. Thus, hopefully yours are there. They can be repaired. The cable that goes between the latch and operating mechanism is nothing more than small engine choke cable available in rolls at a farm supply store.

Thanks Mike. I’m still trying to figure out how to get at back of handle that opens rumble seat. Is there a drawing somewhere that I can get my hands on?
