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:

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:

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.

use this diagrams to do what you need, but remember you didn,t mention the make of the car so  you might need a different set up for the trunk realease. But it should wor. This diagrams are for your alarm a 553t. follow links

Is up to the installer to test all wires with a DMM whenever possible.

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.

can someone tell me how i can add the horn to my alarm. i would like for t to honk when i am and disarm as well as honk when the alarm is triggered. i have a 92 olds delta 88 with a hornet 553t with remote start alarm system

Are you talking about the vehicles horn or the alarm's siren? If you want the horn to honk whenever the alarm is arming/disarming and sounding then you would need two relays. First relay would be: 85 siren output from alarm(you can still leave your siren hooked up), 86 ground, 30 ground, 87 output to 30 of second relay. Second relay: 85 parking light from alarm, 86 ground, 30 output from 87 of first relay, 87 to negative trigger for horn. This will honk whenever the siren is on, when the lights flash. If all you want is the horn then you would just use a relay on the siren output(converting it to negative) and use the output to trigger the horn, and you would have to program the the siren output to be chopped.

85 WHITE/ red from alarm(second channel output), 86 12V, 30 12V, 87 output to truck release wire(lt. blue or blk/wht + at release switch)

do i run two wires from 30 and 86 and tie them together with a fusable link?

i am adding a trunk release to my alarm. i want to use the auxillary button on my remote to open the trunk. the alarm is a hornet 553t with remote start and the three wires coming from the aux harness are gray/black, light GREEN/ black, and violet/black all negative. which one of these wires do i hook up to the trunk release

-------------

on a car i had my horn would honk once when i armed twice when i disarmed my alarm and would go off along with the siren if the alarm was triggered. is there and way to make this happen with a hornet 553t alarm with remote start. i am installing this on a 92 olds delta 88

-------------

The RED / white wire in the main harness is usually use for trunk release. Its negative output. If you need a positive output, you will need a relay.

thanks . how would i use that wire in order for the auxillary button to work
