The black wire goes to switch.the brown wire should be ground.Is there a connector on the brown wire? mitchell shows black wire to switch does not show brown wire .The other side of switch is ground.Shows brown wire from 25 amp ac fuse to switch

I'm pretty sure the actuator is grounded through the trunk lid when it's bolted up. I would run the wire to a "BAT" terminal on the fuse block that way your not limited to only popping the trunk when the key is on.

I had my trunk release wired so it would work even with the key off, then when it was broken into for the third time, they used the button to get into the trunk and steal an Alpine amp and a JL sub

Didn't even have the alarm on since it was in my Dads backyard and it's extremely "private":frown:

................So, IMO, I'd leave it where you have to have the key on.
