Maybe the relays were built into the brain in the older models? I installed about 40 of these with the CM3000 brain (2WSS-AS/2W900FM-AS). These all had an external relay that was prewired to brain. The positive output did in fact come from the relay, but the relay was still activated by a negative pulse which you needed to connect together (with a violet wire IIRC).


The reason the relay wasn't directly hooked up to the trunk pop wire in the first place, was because not all cars had a trunk popper
