Hi guys, newbie here to this forum.

1988 chevy s-10 blazer 2 door. I got an alarm with all the bells and whistles including auto start, power locks, ect.

Anyway, I got everything working except the power locks, they still work with the switch, but not with the alarm.

there are 3 wires 1.unlock 2.lock 3.12v+ out. I used the below diagram I found on this forum, and they just don't work. I would just like to know if this is the correct diagram for my truck. Also I used the light blue wire, and the BLACK/ white stripe wire behind the kickpanel. Thanks in advance!

yeah I have the right wires (blue,and BLACK/ white). I will have to check my connections again. I will also check the relays too, I guess there is allways the chance one may be defective

Try making both #85 pins the negative inputs from alarm(instead of 85 on one and 86 on the other). Some relays have internal diodes which would cause problems with a neg input on the 86 terminal. Also, are you saying there are only 3 wires at the switch? If that's so then you have 3-wire positive pulse locks(doesn't really matter though, the above diagram would still work). Crusin's right, you need to verify the proper motor and switch side of the lock\unlock wires.

I agree wholeheartedly with C2. When I see other guys using #85 for one and #86 with the other, I have urges to whack them with a tie wrap... in the name of good fun, of course. I don't recall seeing any 3-wires in those blazers and if you did reverse the entry and exit points on the relays for the lock/unlock wires, I hope you at least fused it because you may be disappointed looking for your wrecked reversed polarity train. jumping the wires back together in a quick orderly fashion and flicking the factory unlock switch can be a very calming and reassuring operation. Switch side of wire to 87a. "Switch in the middle", "Switch in the middle" Say it ten times in a row ten times today ten days in a row.... you'll never reverse it again.
