keyless entry problem

I'm working on a 1999 pontiac grand am. It has no factory keyless entry or alarm. I put a valient (from jc whitney)keyless entry on it. Everything works great. However, when the doors are closed, nothing works at all. I figure it has to do with a theft deterrent system or something like that. I figure I'll need some sort of bypass module for the keyless entry to work. Rght? What do I need and where do I get it? Please help me if you can.Dyer

did you double check the hook up??? sounds like you migt some wires crossed... post your hook ups.Good Luck

Alarm      Hookup red        +12v black      gnd white      gnd lock       white green      white(1500 resistor) yellow     white brown      black wire of alarm(gnd) orange     trunk trigger switch Since everything works fine with the doors open, I wouldn't think that crossed wires is the problem. The owner told me that the car has numerous built in safety features like the one i described. He told me that ever since he had the car he couldn't lock the doors with the keys in the ignition. So I think its something with the way the car is programmed. Maybe not? Thanks for the help. Please keep it coming!Dyer

my 12v is from the power lead to the power mirrors. (only +12 in the entire door!). I had questioned it myself if this were adequateDyer

You have an odd problem. The Grand Am usually does NOT lock with the door open. The only way it will lock is if the doors are closed. Did you use relays to ground the signal from the alarm or did you just use the (-) ground from the alarm and add a resistor to the UNLOCK wire ?Jeff

Velocity, I did not use any relays. Was I supposed to? I just used the (-) ground from the alarm and added a resistor to the UNLOCK wire. draasch, Yes my unit is in the door. I can try an alternate +12 surce if you think that would be best. Thanks to both of yall in advance. Dyer

i would only because most of your hook up points will be under the dash. also it will keep moisture out of the unit. and yes i would use two relays... Doorlocks Are Found As A Single Wire System. A Negative Pusle On The WHITE Wire In The Driver Kick Panel Will Lock The Doors. A Negative Pulse Thru A 1.5K Ohm Resistor On The Same WHITE Wire Will Unlock The Doors hope it all works out for you..Good Luck
