Door lock, unlock wiring, 2005 Sierra

I plan on wiring my aftermarket door lock actuators using the OEM relays. They are wired like this: Rather than adding additional switches to actuate the door locks from the inside I would like to use the sliders in the doors. The actuators have built in toggle switches which I would like to use to actuate the OEM relays. The problem is that these toggle switches will create a continuous signal to the relay....which is obviously not good. I was thinking if I could use the second toggle switch on the other side to deactivate that signal.....but at that point my brain starts to smoke ;-) Ideally the signal would only be cancelled 0.5sec after the signal to complete the stroke of the actuator. The truck is a 2005 Sierra base model without the door modules.

Why not just buy 5 wire actuators? That's what they are made for....Mike M2

I have some actuators that look like this: along with the relay in that picture. Since I would like to use the auto lock/unlock feature AND want the install to look like OEM I would prefer to use the OEM relays.

I installed several of these- you can buy a four door kit five wired for less than $30- that does all of what you want to do- has its own module- that does the relay thing you are making- just trying to keep it simple..........Brcidd - Engineer That Does Remote Starter Installs on the side.
