your trunk release is reverse polarity... even though it seems like u should just be able to apply 12 volts to the switch and get your end result.... reverse polarity doesn't work that way... thats why your fuse popped..... i can't really explain it... i am not a master of relays... perhaps i lack the words to express the way it works in my mind rite now.... although i do understand the basics firmly.... somebody else may be able to explain it better than me.... all i know is i installed for 6 years.....

i like the fact that u questioned my logic....... i like to feel challenged.... i will search for the words to explain it better... and when i come up with em.... i will pass them along..

in the mean time...... somebody help me out here........

there can be only one.......

The trunk release wire rests at ground, You need to Cut the black wire in half and send +12v down the trunk side of the wire to pop the trunk. You need to wire the relay as so:

85 - trunk release wire from alarm

86 - +12V Constant

87 - +12V Constant

30 - The side of the Black Trunk Release Wire going towards the trunk.

87a - The other side of the black wire heading towards the front of the car

okay... i think i got it.......i hope u can understand where im coming from.....

the trunk release in your car is not powered directly from a relay already inside your car... it is powered solely thru the switch..... therefore..... u must install the relay in order for your system to control that function of the car.... most cars have a trunk release button that triggers a relay in the car and handles this for u... but because yours doesn't.. your alarm cannot simply 'send a trigger just to the switch'... your alarm must work 'thru the switch'.....

i still don't completely understand all of the theory when it comes to this part of installing... but this is they way my mind understands it.... i hope it helps.......i gotta do more research or acutally pay attention when somebody starts talking about how relays work...lol

there can be only one.......

there should be a gray 25 ping plug to the right of the fuse box(if you have factory pin under the hood) it should be pin number 2 it maybe red but am not sure double check with your meter
