97 expedition, I have a spare (-) output on Astrostar. (trunk release). I want to use it to turn on the interior lights. I found the relay, in the fuse panel, that turns the lights on then 12 seconds later turns off, works when a door is opened. However I can't get to the rear of the fuse block. Any suggestions?

You will need to use a pulse timer relay.  You can set the amount of time that your interior lights will stay on.

If you don't have one just check with your local install bay they should have one for you

The wire that you will need to hook this up to is BLACK/ light blue in the passenger kick panel.  By the way this wire needs a positve trigger.

When you said Astrostar, did you mean astrostart?  If so, what model?  They are very programmable and you can likely do what you want.
