alpine sec-100s + power locks

ok i think i may have solved it. looking at this post, i may have bought crappy relays. i played around with a spare one i had, and it exhibited the same issues, if i grounded 30, either directly, or via 87a, it shorted out the relay, made it buzz. im gonna yank the whole deal out tomorrow and muck around with one of the relays, see if i cant do anything with it, if not, ill have to buy some good relays.

haha, theyre junk. 87 and 87a are linked. theyre the same circuit. they BOTH connect to 30 when the coil is energized. bah. off to buy some real relays.

got some good relays (made by hella) and alls good now. worked perfectly the first time. lesson learned: make sure your electronic bits are what they say they are!
