keyless entry no parking light flash

I installed a cheap no brand keyless entry on a car yesterday. It has no parking light flash output, no siren output, or anything. I also installed universal door lock actuators. I installed a relay so the parking lights would flash when you press lock or unlock. I was only able to make the parking lights flash with the lock. The problem is that I only had 1 relay left. I know if I had 2 relays, I could make the parking lights flash for both lock and unlock. Now is it possible to get the parking lights to flash for both lock and unlock with 1 relay? Or do you need 2 relays for that?

Thanks.

You can do it with 1 relay only if you've used a 5 wire in one of the doors with door key switching, i.e. triggers, if so diode along each, band towards the unit, connect both to 85, fused 15 amp constant to 87 and 86, output from 30, the problem is you will still need another relay to turn off that constant feed when the ignition is on otherwise the lights will flash every time you lock or unlock the doors when the engine is running!
The problem here is making a silk purse from a sow's ear.
P.S. I never have less than about 8 relays on board at any time.

I used 2 wire door lock actuators. I didnt wire in a door lock switch either. The car will be unlocked when the guy starts his car. I dont think he would lock it with the remote when the engine is running, but I could be wrong. The guy didnt care if the lights flash or not.. (I was being nice to him) I dont think he will be back unless he wants more work done. But I wanted to know about this for the future. Thanks.

Yeah I need to start carrying more relays on me. I use them more than I think.

Yes that's the whole point! First rule of mobile installs
Carry more than you think you will need.
I once did a mobile install in Lowestoft, a small fishing town on England's East Coast about 110 miles North by North East of London.
It was a Clifford G5 + Intellistart. For some reason I'd borrowed it's antenna and ordered a replacement, you can guess the rest, I put what I thought was the right antenna on it and it didn't work! I'd used a G4 and although the look identical, same plugs and cable they're incompatible. Nice 4 hour round trip at my cost the next day!

Wow that sucks.

Yes, 220 miles at $10 per gallon, 8 gallons and 5 hours wasted.
