Door Locks - Single Wire Systems

With many it's as simple as measuring the resistance of the lead(s) during lock and unlock to determine the value of the needed resistor(s). Others will require the addition of relays and / or diodes.

  • Nissan '91 - '95 option 1
  • Nissan '91 - '95 option 2
  • Ford Probe
  • Dodge Caravan
  • Single Wire / Vacuum Type
  • Multiple Wire Systems
  • Special Systems
  • More Coming Soon !

    Nissan's Single Wire '91-'95 using 1relay and 1 diode
    On the '91-'95 300ZX and the '92-'95 240SX, locate the lock/unlock wire in the driver's kick panel or door jamb. When this lead is cut, or opened, the doors will lock. When this lead is grounded. the doors will unlock. If you have positive door lock outputs read next.

    Nissan's Single Wire '91-'95 using 2 relays
    On the '91-'95 300ZX and the '92-'95 240SX, locate the lock/unlock wire in the driver's kick panel or door jamb. When this lead is cut, or opened, the doors will lock. When this lead is grounded. the doors will unlock. If you have positive door lock outputs from the alarm or keyless entry, connect the sides of the coils shown connected to (+)12 VDC to ground and the positive door lock outputs to the respective terminals of the relays.

    Ford Probe
    Locate the single wire from the switch. When (+) 12 VDC is applied to this lead the doors will lock. When (+) 12 VDC is applied through a 4.7 K ohm resistor, the doors will unlock. If your alarm or keyless entry has positive outputs, connect the resistor in series to the lock output lead with a diode and another diode to the unlock output with the cathodes of each towards the single lock/unlock wire.

    Dodge Caravan
    Locate the white w/green wire in the harness under the body control module. When ground is applied to this lead through a 1.5 K ohm resistor the doors will lock. When ground is applied to this lead through a 249 ohm resistor the doors will unlock.
