Hi,
My friend has an 05 cobalt that uses negative door triggers but a positive trunk trigger. Is this possible?
We hooked up the door triggers and they work fine but when measuring the trunk pin located in the BCM c1 pin 55 ORANGE / black wire, it is 0volts when closed and 12volts when opened.
Is there a way to reverse this? I dont think his alarm as the function to change just the trunk pin to a positive trigger. If he does this, all the triggers will become positive.
Thank you.

Keep testing ORANGE / black wires in connector c1 at the bcm. Its a negative trigger for the cobalt trunk pin.

where do you have your multimeter connected?  black to ground and red to the ORANGE / black wire? or do you have red to 12v and black to the ORANGE / black wire.  If used the first setup then it is a (+) trigger-odd-, but if you did it the other way then it was (-), either way you can convert that positive signal to a negative signal.  With a relay you should connect the ORANGE / black wire to 85, (-) to 30 and 86, and 87 to the trunk trigger of the alarm.

Well thats the importance of checking all your wires with a meter.  You were lucky that it wasn't an alarm wire that was giving an output(triggers are inputs).  Good job checking with a dmm and not just connecting and seeing if it worked. Now, with the odd part,  you shouldn't worry, its just how things work sometimes. Again, good job testing.
