I always use pre wired relay sockets here... that way if you have to replace a relay later you dont need to cut any wiring....

Yes, and with the sockets you don't have to remember which wires are for what and go where, because your relay will only fit in one way.

Any other easily accessible place to get a harness from?  Are there different models I need to be concerned with (i.e. what should I ask for)?

Again, thanks for the help - great pictures!!

No problem, I was in the mood to take a picture todayHow exactly do you solder diodes? - Page 2 - Last Post -- posted image. , I get them for free from the junkyard, but anywhere that you can buy the relays you should be able to get the sockets too.

for diodes and resistors (lock wires, vats)  ill do a good solder and tape then make sure i zip tie each end of the diode about two inches away on either side.  i make sure its some thing sturdy, that way any stress on the wire will pull on the parts that are zipped, instead of the joints or the ends of the diode/relay.  some people use crimping butt connectors too.  you just dont want either to break.  its an wasy guess what happened if the keyless entry in a chrysler stopped working (lost a resistor somewhere).
