Guys 95 Lesabre as usual. Need some help. The Trunk release switch is hard to get @ any advice.(For RS. with trunk release.)

I can touch the wires behind the switch but its difficult to Tap since its so HIGH. So I attempted to get the wire @ the Glove BOX...there is a switch there 4 trunk release ON and OFF. Both these black wires are 12volts constant/ when I checked with my meter. I see two black wires behind the trunk release switch and 1 orange with black stripe wire and a Grey wire. I suppose the ORANGE / black and Grey is for the lumination of the trunk release switch. Anyway could somone tell me any other place where I can tap the wires for trunk release. If I have to do @ the switch will either of the 2 black wires work? and whats the relay setup.

THANKS

Oh and p.s <----please answer this one......I have keyless entery and trunk release on the buick........taping the wires for R.S-keyless wont hurt I hope?:o):

well im not sure what system you are putting in so im not sure what your trigger is but ill show you as if its a neg output from the RS

term 85 goes to neg out from RS
term 86 and 87 goes to constant +12
term 30 goes to the trunk pop

thats it
