I'm trying to wire up my DEI trunk release solenoid using my Clifford alarm but I'm new to using relays so its confusing me.
My alarm's Aux trunk release wire is a (-)200ma output so just trying to figure out how this will trip the relay when I'm ready relays usually trip with a (+) trigger.
Anyways I've found in another post that you wire it up like this:
85- Red/White (-)200ma from alarm
86- 12v from battery fused
30- 12v from battery fused
87a- not connected
87- to trunk solenoid
But is there no ground? Does the solenoid ground work as the ground?
What what amp fuses do I use for the 86 & 30?
The solenoid comes with a 15amp fuse.
Hopefully someone call please help me out and have done this before
