Hooking up trunk and fuel door release options on remote start in a 96 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. Directechs list that you go to behind the seat at the relays and grab the +12V wires but Ive read a few other posts on here about just tapping the - trigger at the release switches. Id rather just grab - trigger wires at the switches but If I do decide to get the trigger between the factory relay and motor, am I going to want to just tap in a +12V trigger or would I want to wire the relays in reverse polaroity(5-wire style)??

Well the locks and park lights are in the kick panel, thats also why I wanted to tap at the switches so I dont have to take apart the back seat for just those 2 triggers...

if they are built into the park light switch then the trunk is the only place ive tried and failed as i said have done more than my fare share of caddys and doin alarms since 93 p lights are recommened in the trunk also kick(brown)wire will give problems feedback i was just sayin accordin to the tech sheet locks lights trunk/gas release door triggers all found back of seat even catch 12v in trunk so jus run your siren and stkll to the front and your done mount brain back there too posted_image

Directechs lists the locks in the driver kick, as well as a negative trigger parking light wire but I believe the parking light wire will only work with the ignition on so I might still have to run that to the rear, I am doing a remote start not alarm, so I have to leave the brain up front, The only thing I really need to go behind the seat for is the trunk,fuel door release,and probably the parking lights...I am just wondering if the wires that I am tapping into are the actual motor/actuator wires for the trunk/fuel door? I was going to see if I needed to cut the wire and wire reverse so I dont send a +12V feedback back to the relay when triggering those options...
