5 wire ones control rear doors too etc

no need if u only want 1 door/boot to pop

make sure it resets itself too (unlike maplins solinoids which are crap)

aint it a switch as well, like if u push it back it it triggers other solonoids to move, like with central locking

its a large electromagnet

when it has electricity to it, the magnet pulls together and pulls the wire attached

the wire connects to a door handle etc and pulls it open
