door lock relays giving me a headache

I currently have a Valet 712T keyless-entry kit with priority door locking installed. I'm in the process of installing a doorlock switch; having to lean over every time somebody wants to climb into the car after I've started it, is rather frustrating. This is my relay setup: Keep in mind that I want to retain my priority door unlocking, hence the reason for the three relays. Now, here's my problem: All my door locks are reversed in their action, i.e. I now have priority locking, doors unlock when I turn the ignition on, etc. I know that all I have to do is to remove my door panels again and simply reverse the lock wires (I did the installation myself, no problems there). But why, WHY is this happening?F R A N S

I'm an idiot, BIG TIME!!! Yesterday, I intended on removing my door panels and reverse the actuators' wires, seeing that it would solve my problem. However, I first wanted to complete my door lock switch - I simply had to complete its wire harness and mount it. I used an OEM Mercedes-Benz sunroof switch - it's the only switch that vaguely represents a door lock switch. Now, I have a proper wiring diagram of my car that I used for the power window installation, so I'm quite familiar with the window switches connections. I regard myself as not a total noob when it comes to these types of installations; I converted my car from manual windows to brand new genuine OEM power windows and incorporated two Directed 530T window modules and also the Valet 712T kit and all door lock actuators myself. Here are a few photos of my installation: alarm pictures Well, I THOUGHT that I knew which connectors to use for the switch. For the life of me, I don't know why I didn't walk the few feet to my room and double check the connectors beforehand...laziness. Long story short, I completely fried the locking circuit of my Valet 712T module in addition to a few of my actuators. I re-connected the fried circuit on the board, but it seems as though the relay is shot. The saddest part is that I imported the unit from the US to South Africa. I really don't want a Chinese knock-off unit. I think I'll order the module only, and buy the actuators locally. Guess it's one of those lessons one has to learn.F R A N S
