97 accord ex 2 stage door unlock

Hi!

I am installing the Astra 600 in a 1997 Honda Accord EX Sedan (VTech, 4 cylinder, A/T) and am at the point where I want to connect the blue wire from the alarm door lock/unlock bundle for a 2-Stage door unlock. Per the instrucions (page 17), I have the relay and 15 amp fuse, but I am unable to determine if there is a wire under the dash that I can use for the unlock signal (blue wire). This is the wire that will be cut and the relay connected to. Per the Hanes manual, the wire should be BLACK/ Red, but I suspect that it is located in the drivers door. I would prefer not to try to route a wire through the harness to the door, but if that's the only (and/or best) way, then I will do it. Can anyone please confirm the wire color and best wire location for this setup?

Thanks!!

Power unlock - orange (-) DKP in grey plug

if you want driver priority unlock, you need to wire the relay in the door and tag the lock actuator wires.

Thank you!

The instructions call it 2-Stage Door Lock/Unlock, but I guess it is also called driver priority unlock.  That is what I trying to connect. Looks like I have to take the door apart as well. Can you confirm the wire color coming at the servo connector? Any tips on where to place the relay in the door or which wire to use to power the relay?

Thanks!

the wires are located in the door, and its impossible to miss. just look for 2 wires going to the lock motor. one will be 12v and the onther will show ground(-) when the switch at the door is pressed. just power the relay with any 12v line available. wire it up like so.

since this is a negative trigger lock.

85 - DPU (driver pri unlock) wire from alarm or rs (-)

CUT THE WIRE THAT CONNECTS SWITCH TO THE LOCK ACTUATOR. connect one end to each terminal

this way you can still get priority and still control that with the door switches.

OR

Follow the diagram given to you ahaha ! cheers

Thank You!!!

I'll post back as soon as I get everything wired and to let you know how it went.

Hi!

Thank you for the information. I checked the wires again at the factory door lock module and found a Yellow/Red wire that has 12V when in "unlock", 0V in "neutral" and 1.1V in "lock". There is also a WHITE/ Red wire at the module that has the opposite measurements, 1.1V = "unlock", 0V = "neutral" and 12V = "lock".   These two wires are also heaver gauge than the others that go to the actuator. I cut the Yellow/Red wire and all of the door locks would not work, so that one can't be it. I have attached the wiring diagram for 2 Stage Door Locks from the instruction manual:

I have the relay wired as shown and also tried 87 to Ground with no luck. No other wire I found at the factory module has 12V in "unlock" and 0V in "lock".   Not really sure what else to try. Any suggestons???
