I have a 98 Cavalier Z24. It has the factory trunk actuator with remote keyless entry. I want to ad a button to the inside so I can pop the trunk while the car is running. I know that it is a positive trigger. Do I need to put a relay on it or can I just tap into the wire and put a button in between it with 12+ constant. If I do need a relay could you please tell me how to wire it? Thanks for the help!

I would wire in a relay to be safe.

86: 12 volt Constant ( Fuse at 20 amps )
85: One side of a two prong push button switch. The other side of the switch should be grounded to chassis.
30: To (+) trunk release wire
87: 12 volt Constant ( Fuse at 20 amps )
87a: NOT USED

So, the 12+ constant can be tapped from the glove box light if I want, right? Thanks for the help.

If you can find one then use it, otherwise all you need to di is tap into the fuse panel and run a wire fromt here to the relay.
