First, unless the vendor is offering a discount, I would wait until the correct model comes in. Unless you want to keep the system you have (if it's better than what you were supposed to get).
You are hearing the parking light relay...not
door lock relays. The manual shows only low current negative outputs for door locks.
You need two relays, take a look at page 10 in your
install manual. You would use the diagram listed as "positive trigger". The unlock output from the
relay would go to the black wire in the kick panel that shows +12V when unlocking. The lock output from the other
relay would go to the light blue wire in the kick panel that shows +12V when locking. These wires can also be found in the center console (where you hear the
relays clicking when locking/unlocking).

Hi,
I figured that click was the lights. Thanks for confirming that.
Your info is very good and makes sense and is the best info I got to this point. i jtust to make sure I have all my ducks in a row before installing. I had this vette since new and to date is in flawless condition. I decided after all this time to have a winter project and install a keyless entry. I just don't want to fry any wires. Again. you gave me some good info.
The other system I'm waiting to arrive is the Commando 550-S. However, it seems not to have an onboard relay but I was told to go with this one instead of the G20.
Your thoughts

I've been having a tough time finding someone who has a FSM for the 84 vette. However, my Hayens manual (for C4's) 1984-1996 shows a relay in the car. But from what I heard, it;s only in the 84 and 85 vette.
I found out yesterday from another forum that the 84 and 85 vettes already have the unlock and lock door relays in the car and that I have a Positive Pulse lock system and if I can find them I can hookup the keyless entry wires to them without installing external relays.
OR do I still have to install external relays?
do I have a positive pulse system?
I just have to find out where these relays arelocated. They were said to be located somewhere by the steerring column. Is that where you were saying "These wires can also be found in the center console (where you hear the relays clicking when locking/unlocking). Is that the relay you were talking about? http://www.commandocaralarms.com/positivepulselocks.asp
This is what the relay looks like that I need to find.
