Yeah I believe so. I will have to try when I get home. If it does not work every time from the door switch what do you believe it could be, shorting/grounding out, bad solenoid, or bad switch? I have a T-tap splice from the green of the 3 pin connector of the module on the GREEN / WHITE right on the loom of wires near the ecu, above the driver kick panel. I will have to test it out when I get in from work, I should have already done that but only got 3 hours of sleep as it is. If it doesn't work every time from the cars lock switch Ill take the panel off and have a look around. I can check for bare or breaking wires easy enough, if I see none how should I go about testing anything else if you think its something else?

Did you test that GREEN / WHITE wire ?or you just might have the lock motor wire . You need to test and verify all wires before attaching any of them to the alarmtriniforever

So there is a lock motor wire and a different door lock wire? What differentiates the two when checking with my meter? Sorry for the newbie questions this is my first venture into something like this. I will pull my door panel off and check for anything obvious, Ill also check that wire I'm tied into first, So I need to probe the red to something with constant voltage and then take my black probe and connect it to the wire I suspect is my door lock trigger, then just use the door lock on the door and see if it shows voltage? Or should it work like anything else, ground the black and check it with red?

\ If I had the door lock motor wire rather than the door lock wire (still unsure if thats what you meant) that might explain why the passenger door isn't getting controlled by the remote. Can you lead me in the right direction?

First what kind of test equipment you have ? A DMM ? A test light ?triniforever

I picked up a nice multimeter for the job.

Ok so you need to test that lock wire place one lead to ground and the other lead to the wire to be tested when you hit the switch that wire should go to groundtriniforever

I figured it out after work. Weak actuator. Thanks for the help and also about the clutch bypass. I made a video to help others. I know that my "work around" isnt the proper way but it works for me for a work car. Solved my problem, I left the passenger side hooked up in case the battery ever dies while Im inside it, LOL. No one ever rides with me so its not an issue, I can just leave it locked and mechanically attached since the actuator on the passenger side since the actuator while mechanically hooked up is too weak to unlock. Take a look at the video if you want. http://youtu.be/Dbdwat8Kx-k http://youtu.be/Dbdwat8Kx-k
