Hey Everyone,
I *really* need some assistance, and I've searched the forums but have not found my answers, even tried posting to the various jeep forums. Any help would be most appreciated!
PATIENT:
-'89 Jeep Cherokee Limited, came w/ factory keyless. P.O lost the remote, so I have no idea if it actually works/worked.
PROCEDURE:
-Trying to install AVITAL TORNADO 2 alarm.
PROBLEM #1
-KEYLESS ENTRY.....I've got it installed so far that it physically will arm/disarm/etc, but need help locating which wires to tap into for some functions. Most important, I'm trying to get the keyless function working. I've tried tapping into the white and dk green wires at the drivers side, as wella as the tan and green wires on the passenger side), but can't get the blasted remote to lock/unlock the doors. I think I've figured out that green is "unlock", and negative trigger?
I've tried wiring up 2 new relays according to both the Avital installers manual and another relay schematic I got from the relay manufacturer for a negative trigger. I can hear/feel the relay click, but it doesn't trigger the locks themselves. Which wires should I be using??
PROBLEM #2
-DOOR TRIGGER.....I can't find the "correct" door trigger wire. I downloaded the wiring diagram for the 89 Cherokee, and traced it to the black w/ white stripe wire at the DS footwell. Tapped into it, and it WILL set off the alarm when I open the DS door, but opening any other door doesn't set off the alarm. Which wire should I be using?
PROBLEM #3
-INTERIOR LIGHT.....It's supposed to be setup with a relay to trigger the interior door light for 30 seconds upon disarm, but of course, my non-electrical mind can't get it to work correctly. Again, is this triggered by the door trigger, or the interior light? I've tried connecting to the door trigger wire as above, and the little light (pink wire, IIRC) by the DS footwell, but nothing. Again, I can hear/feel the relay click, and then even click 30 seconds later, meaning its trying to do its job. I think I just have the wrong wire. The parrot says....which wire should I be using?
Thanks in advance for the help!

#1...Did your Jeep come with Factory Keyless?? If not, U have to do a 5 wire Reversal with 2 SPDT Relays

Power LockWHITEDRIVER KICK
Power UnlockDARK GREENPANEL *
Reversal Rest At Ground Door Lock 
* With OEM Keyless Entry: Lock - L GREEN, Unlock - TAN, ... At Relays Below Passenger Dash.

#2....Are U sure the wire you tapped into goes to the PIN Switch?

Dome LightBLACK/ TAN ORBLACK/ WHITE (-) AT PIN SWITCH

#3....Did you Meter this wire??   You may have to use a Relay for a stronger Ground for the Dome light.   A lot of Alarms do NOT come with built in Relays for the Dome Light
