They are pos. cut and discard the 87a wires join 87 to 12v+ and your 30 wires to the lock unlock in the driver kickwell probably white and yellow primary colours. but check, its a red plug. Years since I've done one

The trunk release wire is by the switch behind the window switches in the consoile and it's neg going. Just connect your trunk release aux output directly to it. If you are about to install the whole caboodle, inc. solenoid good luck.

Read what I said, just connect the aux output to the switches output wire which should be neg. Sorry that year it will be neg, black and something.
