DIY boot release help

[mchenryg]

Hi everyone. I know a couple of threads have been placed on this topic, but I was wondering if someone could help me with a step by step fitting instruction.
I bought my kit off fleabay and I am totally useless with anything like this.
I have got as far as figuring out that you disconnect the leads from the under dash button (in the boot)but I have no idea where to put the kit and what wires go where.
I hope someone can a) make sense of this and b) help with installing.

Would it be wise to buy some fuses just in case, if so which ones.
Also where is the fuse box ??

Thanks guys

Giles.

Hi Giles

Whats the latest with the car, have all the issues been sorted now as you obviously still have the car.

Is the boot kit a Modwise one as that is the most common one

Hi Trev
Well everything that was urgent has been done. I got a couple of 2nd opinions on the chassis and it was not such bad news after all, I had it re MOT'd just for a little more piece of mind as I was told it would fail!! I will get it done at some point soon.
The kit was not modwise one, it was just a remote locking kit that can be adapted to put on the boot.
I really am no good with tech stuff and I didnt want to start blowing fuses etc.
Thanks for your note.

Anybody help??

what exactly is the kit? as far as fuses, 10 amp.

Hi Dave. Its a kit with a remote box and about 8-10 different coloured wires. Its compatible with any factory fitted central locking and alarm.
The 2 red wires are attached to aq black box and all other wires are fed into a white box.
I really should have gone to my physics lessons.

A link to a website or some manufacturer/model info for the gadget would help

Hi sorry. this is the link to the ebay item. Other than that I have no more info. Someone on here a few weeks ago said they fitted one. Thats what made me get it.

so it has a remote blipper? If of does you will not need the solenoid or probably the central locking relay, think you do need instructions!
