Printer Friendly Forum Posts - 94 mazda 626 keyless entry

im trying to install a low jack alarm (DEI) and im having trouble with the door locks. i do not have a switch on my drivers door, i have to move the lock up or down and the other doors imitate it.

i opened up the door panel and i believe there is a 3 wire door actuator in the drivers side. SO i tried to wire my alarm up with 2 relays like in the diagrams section useing the "actuator/reverse polatiry" wiring guide. and that ended up blowing my fuse when i tried to lock or unlock the door. after that i put everything back the originally way it was and none of my doors would lock or unlock now.

can someone please help me install this. the 3 wire accuator in the drivers door i belive has 2+ and 1- and on the other door actuators it is just 2 wire and i belive they are both - and they see + for a second to lock or unlock

any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Are you positive theres an actuator in that door? That car does not come stock with one. But there will be some wires in the door. They just control the other door actuators though.

no im not positive there is one. there is just something that resembles one with 3 wires on it. if they dont come with one stock i know one was never added so i guess it doesnt have one.

which means i need to buy one. can you link me a decent one that is pretty cheap and help with whatever else i need to do

I had a 94 626 at one point. that car has a central locking system. you need to add an aftermarket actuator to the drivers door only. tie it to the factory rod and and remember to hook up the factory alarm disarm wire. you can find that wire at the door and it is yellow/red or GREEN/ black. try the yellow/red first. when you lock and unlock, it will control all the doors.

ok thanks i will get an actuator to put in the drivers door. do you have any links for a decent one?

after i do that do i need to connect any wires from the "stock wiring"
there is a thing that i guess moniters the lock in the drivers door it has 3 wires then goes to a connecting harness with 3 wires and goes into the car, those 3 wires are blue and red, green and black, and black

you dont have to connect any wires to the stock actuator. just get your aftermarket actuator and install it. you will have a 2 wire actuator and use the actuator/reverse polarity diagram to hook it up with your alarm. remember to connect the factory disarm wire. or else your factory alarm will go off everytime you unlock your car with the key fob. besides that, its like any other basic alarm install.

ok thanks for the help i understand what to do now. my car doesnt have any factory alarm so i guess i dont have to worry about that disarm trigger.

i think i messed up the 3wire stock one in the drivers door though. see i though i was supposed to connect that to the relays for the alarm and it blew the "room" fuse and i replaced it and now my locks dont work auto like they used to, any ideas on what i should do about that?

check if there are any other fuses that could be blown. wire your stock actuator back to normal like it was before you installed the relays.
as for the factory alarm. when you get out of your car and lock the door, there is a yellow 'security' light that lights on the instrument cluster. one way to make sure you dont have a factory alarm is to leave your window open, lock the car and wait for a minute or two. reach in the car, unlock the door and open it. if it goes off, then you do have a factory alarm.

I didnt know my car had it until I reached inside and unlocked it manually. hope that helps.

ok i looked and i couldnt find any other blown fuses. i wired everything back to normal and my doors locked but they wouldnt lock or unlock when moving the drivers lock up or down. i have a feeling my stock actuator got shorted out so i think im going to have to replace it as well. posted_image

i found this 5 wire actuator https://www.buy.com/prod/directed-524f-5-wire-high-power-door-lock-motor/q/loc/111/90148152.html

i think i should be able to wire the 3 stock wire that i guess control the other door locks and use the other two to hook up to the relays for the keyless entry. what do you think?

if none of your door locks are working, then try to find a replacement actuator. you may find one in a junkyard. that way you dont have to worry about which wires to connect. if you go that route, then you will need and aftermarket 2 wire actuator and hook that one up to your alarm. i would go this way personally. I havent dealt with the 5 wire actuators, but if you have instuctions, it shouldn't be hard to wire it up.

here is a link to some actuators https://www.partsexpress.com/webpage.cfm?WebPage_ID=3

thanks, i really appreciate your help. i looked at this link here which is a kit to put power door lock in a car without any power locks, and it comes with a 5 wire actuator and 3 2wire actuators. so it seems the 5 wire controls the others so im just going to order that directed 5 wire and hopefully it will work for me, i dont see why it wouldnt. i would just go to a junk yard but the ones around here over charge like hell so i would probly pay 20-30 for that peice, no joke.

i have a 94 626 lx and it has they type of lock where you move the actual lock on the drivers side and the other doors mimic it. i think i burnt up the motor in the drivers door and my power locks no longer work. (yes i checked the fuses)

anyway i bought a directed 5 wire door lock actuator to replace it and for use with my keyless entry. and dont really know how to install it.

originally there are 3 wires on the stock actuator. blue green and black. which go to a connector harness then change color, the blue becomes blue/red the black becomes GREEN/ black and the green becomes black.

how should i wire this new actuator up it has green blue white brown and black wires

Has someone already added an aftermarket actuator to the door? Otherwise, there is not a motor in the drivers door of that vehicle.There is just a switch that tells the other doors what to do when the drivers plunger is moved. Putting an actuator in the drivers door will only lock and unlock the drivers door, until you can find out what went out. The other option is to add actuators to each door.

-------------

inside the drivers door there is not a motor but i guess a type of swtich with 3 wires that controls the other acutators. i guess i burnt up the switch trying to install keyless enty. so i bought a 5 wire door actuator to put in that door so i can use the keyless entry. i figure the 3 stock wires from that switch would connect to it and the other two on the actuator to the relays for the alarm i just dont know what wires to use. of the stock wiring one seems to be always +12v one - and one that alternates.

You can add the acuator to the door to get it to unlock the other doors. The problem is you have to replace the switch so the other doors will function. Then your acuator can be used then go to

https://www.the12volt.com/doorlocks/page3.asp#arp

to wire up the acuator. Or like Mikvot said you can put acuators in all the other doors. I would replace the switch. You do not hook any of the switch wires up to the acuator. The plunger going up and down will operate the other doors. When the switch is working again.

Also if I remember right you will just use the green(lock) and blue(unlock) wires on your aftermarket acuator.

If you use the latch on the door, and flip it "locked" , do all of the doors unluck, and lock?

let me try to explain everything easyer. my drivers door has no switch so you just move the lock and the other doors mimic it because they have stock actuators.

well i didnt realize i need an extra actuator for the drivers door so i fried the stock "switch type" thing inside the drivers door that has 3 wires on it.

so i bought a 5 wire actuator to replace the stock switch and act as an actuator as well. the problem is i dont know how to hook it up.
it has a brown white black blue and green wires.

the stock switch thing in the driver door with 3 wires has a black green and blue. which goes to a harness which changes the wire colors and one of them reads 12v constant one seems to be A/C and one seems to always read ground.

please help me wiring this up.

Back to the original question when you turn your key in the door do the stock acuators on the other doors still work? If they do not work you absolutely have to fix your burnt up switch in your door. If you do not fix that you will have to put aftermarket acuators in all your doors. You do not want to do that if you don't have to. The aftermarket acuator will not make your doors start working again. The acuator making the doorlock plunger move in your driver door is what makes all the other doors lock and unlock. That works because of the factory switch that made all your other doors work when you used your key. You have to fix that switch first.

Once you fix that switch use the above diagram and disregard the other three wires in the acuator. Hook the green wire from your acuator to post 30 on one relay and the blue wire to post 30 on the other relay. That will work lock and unlock for your alarm. The other three wires are only used if you are going to install a switch in your door.

If you applied pos or neg to a door switch that normally only switches either at low current you might have at least burned track and/or diodes on cars central locking control unit although you should have at least blown fuse on alarm! If yoy can't see a motor there ISN'T ONE!

ok i ended up with a 5 wire actuator instead of a 2 wire one. i already have the relays hooked up correctly i just dont know what 2 wires i need to connect the actuator has a black green blue white and brown.

is it even possible to use the 5 wire in place of a two wire or do i need to buy a 2 wire?

thanks
