Depends on if the car has Factory Keyless entry.  Test with DMM or visually as
per the conflicting info noted below.

Info from Bulldog Security :
 There are (2) wires at this TRUNK RELEASE SWITCH, if the switch has a PINK / YELLOW
 and a YELLOW/LIGHT GREEN, use the PINK / YELLOW as a (-) Negative Trunk Release.
 If the switch has a YELLOW/LIGHT GREEN and a PURPLE / YELLOW use the
 YELLOW/LIGHT GREEN as a (+) Positive Trunk Release.

Info from DEI :
There are 2 wires at the switch. If the switch has a pink / YELLOW and a gray/red use the pink / YELLOW
as a negative trigger. If the swich has a gray/red and a purple / YELLOW, use gray/red as a positive trigger.

If you have the (+)Gray/Red system use a relay as follows :
Relay Pin 85 to 561R RED / White
Relay Pin 87 and 86 to +12V Constant thru 10 Amp fuse
Relay Pin 30 to Taurus Gray/Red Trunk Release
Relay Pin 87A not used - insulate

The (-)Pink / YELLOW system can be connected directly, without a relay.

Soldering is fun!
