After returning to my car with the trunk wide open too many times I decided to take the the internet and see if anything could be done. Turns out it's a common issue and the double shot relay is the remedy, you know the rest of the story, I'm sure.

Installing the new relay was easy enough however the trunk does not open anymore. Either from the switch outside the vehicle OR the fob.

I immediately placed the orginial mechanical relay back in place and surprise - it doesn't work either. I am a commercial/industrial electrician so I am able to confirm both relays are in working order, however I'm more a AC motor/control man myself. DC electronics aren't really my bag.

I'm a little over my head and could use some guidance on where to start.
