Connect the diode - the side without the strip to 85. The other end to 86. 85 and 86 are pins on the relay.No question is stupid or not worth asking. You were once a noob, right? :)

thanks needed that pic...also I need one for both relays or just one?

Both relays should have a diode since they are connected to the alarm.No question is stupid or not worth asking. You were once a noob, right? :)

im officially frustrated. I plugged in everything correctly and the relays still dont click on/off I have 12v going to pin 86, when I check pin 85 on the relay with my dmm I get a 12v reading. when I plug in my wire from the alarm harness to pin 85 it then reads 9v. when I click the remote unlock/lock depending on which wire green or blue the pin 85 will jump up to10v. but it will NEVER get a ground signal. no ground means the relay wont function correct? this is where im at so far.. any other suggestions?

Take the relay out. Attach a wire to the 86 pin, attach a different wire to the 85 pin. Put the wire for the 86 on the POSITIVE side of a 12 volt source, (ie, the battery). Then touch the wire from the 85 pin to the ground, (NEG battery). The relay should click, and the click again when the wire to ground is removed. Relay works?! What are all of your wire connections to the relay?When all else fails, Read the Instructions

Oh smokeman I thought you were going to quote that famous Idiot post which ends with "but it's surely only 12 volts?" That apart x 2. Relays are manufactured to work about 16 million times, ever seen a faulty one? I'm 67 and in 40 odd years in this business I've seen 2 both Bosch fuel pump primer relays, on a Ford and a Porsche. Could the OP please list complete wiring to the relays?Test before boxing up.

the relay works when I put a constant 12v to 86 and a chassis ground on 85. it will click 87 - 12v 86 - 12v 85 - blue/green to alarm 30 - to actuators 87a I tried grounding it and not grounding, still nothing

2 relays not one. Lock relay:- 87 and 86 12V+ constant fused at 15 amps per 2 actuators. 87a ground 85 green from 5706 Diode 1N4004 across relay coil, 85 and 86, band to 86. Unlock as above, except blue from 5706 to 85.Test before boxing up.

yes im using 2 relays with diodes.
