As post above.--If you have it's very simple to put a 12 volt supply into the live terminal and instantly open your car.---Will save all that difficult messing about trying to get your bonnet open.--


I think, but not sure---Blue power

White earth.--( Or bodywork of car. )

12S pin out, from the rear of the socket.
