Door Lock Actuators

Ok well I have searched and seems there are just too many types to figure this out alone. Two wire, 5 wire, + pulse and so on.

Here is what I am trying to figure out. I have a 97 F-150 that does not have power locks. Its not a problem as I only use the truck when I need it, so most of the time it sits in my driveway as it is not my daily driver. Lately I have been having problems getting the door unlocked with the key to the point where on more than one occasion I had to open the passenger door and reach across to unlock the drivers side from inside.

The truck currently has a Viper alarm on it, one of the older ones with the black 2 button remote. I don't need inside switches or anything all I want is to add an actuator to the drivers door to lock/unlock with the alarm. I don't need auto lock or anything like that just a simple setup to keep me from having to fight with the key.

Any help would be appreciated. My local shop wanted like $90.00 to do it for me but there isn't enough vasaline in the world for me to pay $90.00 to have a $5.00 part put into my truck considering it could be done in less than 20 min in my garage.

Well I thought the $90 was good to until they told me $90.00 per door.

So the wiring details you gave, just to clarify I would need a 5 wire actuator and the wiring would be as follows:

Purple from actuator to constant 12v                                                                           

White & Brown to ground

Blue & Green from Harness 2 of the alarm brain to the two remaining wires of the actuators and depending on how I mount the actuators will depend on which wire goes to what, that will just be trial and error to get it right.

Well I thought the $90 was good to until they told me $90.00 per door.

So the wiring details you gave, just to clarify I would need a 5 wire actuator and the wiring would be as follows:

Purple from Harness 2 on Alarm Brain to Constant 12V(according to Vipers install instructions this should be the violet and the violet/Black fused to a 12v source)

WHITE/ Black  & BROWN / Black from H2  to ground

Blue & Green from Harness 2 of the alarm brain to the two remaining wires of the actuators and depending on how I mount the actuators will depend on which wire goes to what, that will just be trial and error to get it right.

Well I got the actuators in and now I am finally going to get around to putting them in this evening.

One question, on the wiring where I have to run the violet and violet/black wires to a fused 12v supply.

The power wire for my stero system runs right next to(within 1') of the alarm brain. Would it be a bad idea to strip some of the rubber off of that wire, solder in a fused wire to the brain then just wrap it up nice and tight with electrical tape to get the 12v I need? I really don't feel like having another wire running from the battery to the car seeing as the battery is on the front passenger side and the wires go through the firewall on the drivers side.
