fuse blowing

I have installed an Autopage rf-410 in a 2003 Camry. I wired the channel 2 output (- 200mA) to a relay, which is hooked up to the trunk release(WHITE/ blue)+ wire. alarm (-)          - 85 12V + constant     - 87 & 86 trunk release +    - 30 When channel 2 is activated it will blow the 20 amp fuse that is hooked up to the relay. Do I need to use a 30 or 40 amp fuse or is something else wrong? Rod

1. If the fuse blows immediately upon activation, you have a short to ground. ie. Dead short 2. If the fuse blows several second(s) after the fact, you have a over current condition. ie. Current draw is too high, or the rated fuse, is too small. If you are using the extra release button that requires a constant +12 VDC(fused) along with the alarm module. You will wire it like this: One side of the soleniod will be grounded to the chassis / body. The other end of the soleniods lead will enter the interior switch button. The other side of the button will be a fused +12 VDC constant power source, which will connect to pin 85 & 87. Pin 86 connects to the alarm (-250 mA) trigger wire. Pin 30 is tied to ground, and the (-) negative side of the interior switch. Again, this assumes you are using the interior (extra) button as well in your installation. There are 5 other ways to install this device. Let me know what your set up is. Regards EVIL Teken . . . 3. The following is one of the ways you may install and connect your trunk release. NEGATIVE TRUNK OUTPUT TO: A) Negative Trunk Pop 85 = (-) Trigger from alarm CPU 86 = (+) Fused 12 VDC 87 = 30 = (-) Chassis Ground

The problem is that your trunk is a 5 wire system (as in lock type 5 wire). Wire this way: 85 (-) output from alarm, 86 constant +12V, 30 trunk release wire going to the trunk ( you have to cut the trunk release wire for this to work) 87A trunk release wire going to switch/relay, 87 constant +12V. Your trunk release wire should be WHITE/ blue.Certified Security Specialist

Always check info with a digital multimeter.

I promise to be good.

Tell Darwin I sent you.

I've been sick lately, sorry I won't be on much.

Auex, It works great now! thanks! should I use a 10 or 15 amp fuse? I am currently using a 15 amp.. Rod
