Horn Honk/Trunk Release

i was wondering if anyone could help me. I have a 92 olds 88 royale with a Hornet 553t alarm. I want to add the horn so that it will honk when the alarm is triggered. do i need a relay to do this, or can i just run the wiring from the brain straight to the horn wire under the steering column.

Check out the "Horn" part of this page: go here

Thanks for the info. I know i might be pushing it but how can i find out how to add the trunk pop and a trunk pin switch

No prob. You're not pushing it For the trunk pop, do you have a lever, or a pushbutton in your car, to open the trunk? If you have a pushbutton, then I believe you only need to add a relay between one of the extra channels of your alarm, and the wires going to your car's pushbutton. If you have a lever (manual), then you can buy a trunk release kit for like $15, add a relay, and then you have to use that extra channel from the alarm. That's the basics on how to do it. If you want more info on the wiring and such, just reply.... Here's a previous post about this topic. You might want to check out the links on that post.

Once again thanks. i just bought a trunk release kit because i had to use the key to open my trunk. so if you could can you break down to me how i would wire evrything together. and have you heard of a mercury switch for the trunk? is it the same thing as a pin switch?

well, here's how I did my trunk release. Because the formatting in my post is coming out a little funkie, I'll number my steps to make it easier to read. (1) Installed the trunk solenoid in the trunk. (2) The solenoid has 2 wires. The one wire (probably black) goes to ground in the trunk. The other wire (mine was green) gets dragged all the way up to the front of the car where the alarm is, and gets hooked up to a relay. (3) Here's the diagram for hooking up the relay to the trunk release and you're alarm: bulldog security trunk solenoid diagram (4) Then that relay gets hooked up to the negative output of your alarm. (5) you can also install the optional switch (pushbutton) that probably came with your kit, too. REfer to that diagram for that, too.

thanks for the info. i will keep you posted on how it goes

if my alarm does not have a horn output is there anyway i can tap in to the horn to make it go off when my alar is triggered. i have a hornet 553t with remote start. also, i have and auxillary channel on my remote and i wanted to know how would i wire my trunk release to open when i pushed the aux button.

can someone give me the step by step procedure to wiring a relay to my trunk release. i have the diagram but its not helping much. i am new to this and i want to make sure that i do it correctly. the alarm is a hornet 553t with remote start and it is on a 92 olds delta 88. i appreciate any help that someone can give this beginner.
