i tried today to make a factory remote work via 2 relays

i have done this in other vehicles but i have had 2 vehicles not respond to it

a saturn ion and a sunfire why?

i can take the wires i solder to the remote and make the remote work every time

when i plug it into the remote starter i won't work

I thought this was going to be a "Do you know Jack" quiz. Darn!

First, what is "it" - "when i plug it into the remote starter i won't work"?

Ok. How are you "plugging into" the remote starter?

So I take it your using the blue and green to signal the relays and red to power the coils?

are you trying to hook up a remote start unit and trying to use the negative lock/unlock outputs to activate relays that you have attached to the factory remote circuit board in order to lock and unlock the doors?

If this is the case... why? it would take a lot less time and effort to run the lock and unlock wires off the remote start to the lock and unlock wires in the car.

thats right

even if i power the relays with 12 volts and put the triggers to ground it dosn't work

i extended the wires so that the remote was a long ways away from the remote

still dosn't work

but if i short the two wires going to the going to the relay 30 and 87 it works

Either your not getting 12V+ to the coils or your not getting signals on the blue and green. My guess is the 12V+, but I could be wrong. I'm with lostissues, also.

Oops. I read your lasr reply wrong. Here's an example: Power #86 with 12V+(FUSED) and ground #85. That will trip the relay.
