Fuse Electric Trunk Release?

Ha, why didn't I think of that? Just finished the test. The coil draws 10 amps. So 20% more is 12 amps. I guess the gauge of wire would depend on how long the run would be.

I was incorrect on my previous statement that it breaks it's own circuit. It actually grounds though the metal part of the locking mechanism. There is an extra part on mine that looks like it must be for a warning light or something. Thanks again everybody!
