adding a power door lock switch

Hello all, i have an inquiry regarding the power door lock switch. Here is the diagram of what i have been trying to connect. https://img527.imageshack.us/my.php?image=doorlockswitchvk1.jpg the diodes i am using are 1N4004 the switch i have is 3 pronger middle is ground, the problem i am having is where would i connect the diodes, in the diagram it says the alarm door lock harness.. i have tried that but it did not work ;s should i try where the actuator is ?? Thanks in regards

I have this exact setup on my wrangler but dont have any diodes in line and havent had any issues since I did the install a while back.

hmm okk i will try it without the diode, but where did you make the connection from?? the alarm brain or the actuator??

The switch is just used to trigger the relays. No diodes needed.

okk then, so where is it connected from???? btw i have a 95 honda civic so im not sure if the answer may vairy

I was under the inpression you added door lock actuators and already have it hooked up to an aftermarket keyless entry/alarm system. Is that not the case? Or do you have an EX Civic with factory power locks?

noo i never had power locks,mine was an civic si. i added the actuators, and i got an alarm. & i was just informed that no diodes are needed. Just attach a switch(3prong) to lock/unlock of the alarm. One is ground and the others are lock/unlock i am going to try it out and see if it works and let you knoww

i just wanted to clarify, i am going to put a lock/unlock switch on the drivers side, and have nothing on the passenger side. But some people have told me that i am going to need switches on both sides, in order for it to work. i was also told that after i connect the wire from the alarm brain to the switch, i would have to run it to a relay?? im not to sure about it.. if anyone could help it would be appreciated thanks

anyone?????

ahhh i am encoutering problems on making this switch work this is my alarm wiring diagram https://img520.imageshack.us/img520/2906/p1050682oo3.jpg i am using Blue: (-) Instant Trigger Zone 1 Green: (-) Door Trigger Zone 3 There is also Violet: (+) Door Trigger Zone 3 BUT the connection for Violet is not connected to anything ;s i have a 3 prong switch and my middle is ground(checked using a DMM) the ground is connected the chassis is this correct??? OR am i supposed to be using the green & blue wire's coming from the actuator???
