Thank you very much. Got it. $6 :) Is there a socket for this or does one generally just carefully solder wires directly to the pins? I searched for the socket # P6B-06P but did not seem to find it. The help to this newbie is very much appreciated!

Solder

Just a thought, when you make the connections, after the join insert a couple of inline diodes (1N4004) on the lock and unlock wires AFTER the join, if neg pulse locks, band towards join, if pos pulse do the opposite, this will prevent locking the doors bringing on the armed output.

Can someone please help me in understanding this diagram for this relay? I take pins 3 & 4 are the output of the relay. Applying 12V to Pins 1 & 6 close the relay? (3 & 4 will close) Applying 12V to Pins 2 & 7 will open the relay (3 & 4 will open)? I tried that and the resistance on pins 3 & 4 did not change. Any guidance would be most appreciated!

If your locks are negative going, apply constant 12v+ to 6 and 7, then ground 1 for 1 sec. You should hear the relay click and 3 and 4 she be continuous and stay that way. then apply ground for 1 second to 2. This should open the circuit between 3 and 4 continuously.

Ah, I figured it out. Applying 12V to Pins 1 & 6 open the relay - (3 & 4 will open) Applying 12V to Pins 2 & 7 will close the relay - (3 & 4 will close)

Howie II - Thank you very much for this invaluable guidance. It works perfectly. No power drain at all with the latching relay. All those DEI accessories that depend on GWA are now perfectly functional. I cannot express my gratitude in walking this newbie thru this.
