Question for those that have installed the trunk release using an OEM switch: the switch and pigtail I received has four wires coming from it (black, black/grey, blue, purple). Since mlsully said that it's a negative pulse switch, I'm assuming I'll be using the two black wires to complete the circuit (please correct me if I'm wrong). If that's the case, which of the remaining blue and purple wires would be used for illumination and what is the extra wire used for, if anything? My pigtail came from a Nissan Murano, if that matters.

I’m giving this install a try this weekend on my ‘13.

- do the blue and purple wires from your harness tap into the same blue and purple wires at the bcm?

- did you split into the wires at the bcm and run under the carpets to the center console? Or did you find a way to identify the wires to splice closer to the actual switch?

You only connect one wire to the gray wire in the BCM. The other wire goes to ground. For the illumination pair of wires, use a test light to see which wire goes positive from one the harness plugs under the cup holder that's normally used for the heated seats. Connect the positive wire there and the other to ground.
