Trunk Release Wiring

Wire the output source from the alarm to a tyco relay to activate it. Run "hot' power to the switched contact of the relay and from the relay to the trunk latch. There is no need to disconnect the existing wiring since the relay is going to keep anything from back feeding.

thanks guys,

When you say a tyco relay, do you mean just a regular 30 amp relay or ???

I'll try it, or give this to the install guys and tell them to fix it. Thanks...

I have a '88 mustang hatch, that we put an alarm system on. We'd like to have the ability to pop the hatch off the key fob with the alarm system. the installers said they looked at it, but the fact that the trunk release button works only with key on, they said they couldn't get it to work.

Anyone know how to wire it, so it works with Key off, so we can have the remote function work?

thanks
