I have a 1985 AE86 Corolla and I'm planning on installing door lock actuators and an alarm. I was wondering what I needed to hook up the solenoids to the alarm.

I am thinking of getting these motors

What else would I need? And where would I get the blue/green harness for the motor because that one doesn't seem to include it.

There doesn't appear to be a working link but anyway to answer your questions, most DECENT aftermarket kits such as MES, Sempal (Spal) or the leading alarm manufacturers such as DEI manufacture or distribute kits with complete looms such as 5 wire control actuators for the front and 2 wire for the rear. These kits usually come with a control relay. There will be two wires coming off the relay which are low current neg. switching, able to work with any centre off momentary switch or any make of alarm.

Does this forum block ebay links? I think that is why.

What would I need to make this work on my alarm?

As I thought, after looking at the picture, they are unknown brand STANDARD actuators, nothing special about them. Search the web for one of the manufacturers I listed above, they all do complete kits with wiring looms, relay* etc. Steelmate are another but the MES kits are the best quality.

* They are not 2 x normal relays, they have built in timers that shut down their internal coil after 3 secs.

Try this it's the best:- www.a1electric.com This is how you add a link by the way.

Damn thats a little out of price range right now I am trying to put this system together on the cheap since I got the Scytek pager alarm for only $30 and its a 1985 corolla haha. Any other cheaper brands?

Have you ever wired relays...Im assuming these are just the actuators w/ two wires coming out...Most alarm install manuals include aftermarket actuator wiring...Not horribly diffucult...But if you have never seen a relay...Spend the extra and get the all-in-1 kit...Your head will ache less... Oh BTW...Does the door have a rubber boot in the door jamb...That little rubber boot that protects the wires...?

Actuators / Reverse Polarity

This is practically identical to the 5 wire alternating 12V(+) system above. The only difference is there's no switch! Both motor legs rest at ground at the relays. To lock or unlock the vehicle, polarity is changed on one motor leg.
