I think you should ignore that diagram and focus on the ones I linked to above (about creating auto lock/unlock).

You would have to wire a 1000 ohm resistor inline on the wire marked "(-) output to lock circuit"; also you'll need to possibly change some of the wiring to 85 and 86 to various relays once you find out the polarity of the "park position" wire.

Thanks, but now I am confused: is your above comment about your reference or the other diagram?

also is that a 1 amp diode?

Check out this diagram here.

Note that this will lock and unlock when the ignition is turned on or off respectively.

Doing auto lock with speed is impossible without a fairly complicated, custom solid state circuit; however if you knew which wires(assuming they exist) showed that the transmission was in park you could design a relay setup to lock when shifted out of park and unlock when shifted back into it. Chiltons, Haynes, AlldataDIY might have such info.

I meant that you should be guided by the diagrams I linked to in this post, which are on the12volt.com. The one from bulldog is confusing if you're trying to trigger lock/unlock with something other than an aftermarket alarm or keyless entry system; it also gets the resistor values wrong.

As to your other question, 1 amp diodes should be fine for all uses in this case.

OK ...I am off to buy 2 moy relays, 2 1 amp diodes, 2 (1k) ul capacitors and 2 (10K) fixed resistors.

Thanks for your help, I will report back!

The capacitor I bought has the leads coming off of each end: top and bottom. On the side of the capacitor are arrows, does this mean that the capacitor has a "direction" to be installed?

Absolutely, the side in which the arrow points must be more negative than the side away from the arrow.

Thanks, so arrows point towards the ground point in this diagram.

Is there a way, can you tell me top troubleshoot what I have built? I did everything except for the far left realy and it does not work.

Can you advise?

Also I note that the diagram you reference to indicates a "purple" wire that says ignition. I am assuming that we need to connest to the light green and purple wire in the harness since on the wiring sheet that is called ignition?

Assuming that you're doing lock and unlock with ignition on/off respectively (and not when it's shifted out of/into Park), you'll be connecting to the lt. GREEN/ purple in the car's ignition harness. As always, check it with a DMM to make sure that you've got the correct wire.

That ignition would get connected to the pink wires in the12volt's diagram where it's labeled "ignition 12v+".

Also if you didn't connect anything to 86 on the middle relay of the "auto lock" diagram, it's obviously not going to do anything.
