I am installing a alarm for a 97 Honda Accord sedan. Got everything wired up except the door trigger wire which I cant find. Also it doesnt unlock, it locks properly but when you unlock nothing happens. Any suggestions?

towards the left of the steering collumn look for a large rectangular plug that is gray. on the left side of the plug the door trigger is there.

Got the door trigger wired, found it thanks guys. but now the unlock disarm doesnt unlock the doors. I reset the alarm. It worked for a sec and now it doesnt work. The actual door lock/unlock lever works in the car, so i dont know what it can be. Faulty alarm? any suggestions on correcting problem?

@tedmond I hooked up my DMM to the unit there are signal that come out of unlock/lock wires. The alarm will unlock every now and then but not consistent. it locks perfectly, but unlock is inconsistent. Perhaps I need to ask what is the proper procedure to get a reading from my DMM. This is what I did. Plug the positive in to the 12 volt source and negative into the unlock and unlock. both gave a signal. Is that the correct procedure?

Is your car an Accord SE?  Here is an interesting note from Buldog Security:

 NOTE *1 ON SE MODELS, USE THE FACTORY ALARM ARM WIRE FOR LOCK RED / YELLOW (-) AND FACTORY DISARM FOR UNLOCK RED / BLUE (-). THE FACTORY ALARM IS LOCATED UNDER PASSENGER FRONT SEAT.

If not an SE, then you might try "strengthening" up your (-) unlock signal with the use of a relay triggered by the R/S.  You can test this theory first by just pulsing the cars unlock wire with a short jumper wire attached directly to chasis ground.  If that consistantly unlocks the doors then a relay is in order.

Soldering is fun!
