Your 1996 Civic has a POWER trunk release?
As in a button in the front of the car that you push and
the trunk lid pops open?

I really think you have a pull lever on the floor next to the
drivers door, which is a manual, not power. If that is the
case, you will not be able to connect the alarm trunk pop
to the trunk. You would need to install a motor first.

 

oh ya~

I meant that motor is already installed for last owner.
that owner took the alarm.. and left the release motor.

Thanks.

Then you are on your own, as there is no standard for that sort of
wiring. If there were, not many after-market installers would follow it
anyway. Usually, if you look under the dash, it is very obvious which
wires are not original to the car. To get easier access, try removing
the lower dash cover on the driver's side, as this is usually where that
sort of thing is tucked away. When hunting for wires in cars (and other
places) I sometimes use a fox and hound set. This is what phone and
network installers use. Clip the fox between ground and the live wire at
the release motor. Then use the hound / tracer to find the other end of
the wire.

Remember to put a relay in the circuit, the alarm unit can not drive the
release motor directly (unless it has a relay built in, which I have
never seen for the trunk release output).
