weak doorlocks

Hey guys,

earlier today I tested a SPDT relay (used for my SK) on the lock mechanism for my locks (the unlock wires were left alone) basically setup according to the 5 wire diagram but for just for lock cuz I only had one relay. Anyway, the power to the coil is directly from the battery & fused at 30a. Power to the pole on the relay is powered by an interior 12v wire and fused at 25a. The problem is that when I unlock the doors via remote the locks don't go down enough to lock the doors- they go down about 3/4 of what it should. I tried changing the lock pulse on the alarm to 1/10th sec. from the default 7/10th sec. but it only seemed to go down even less. There is a 4 sec. pulse option but I was hesitant to try it. Should I? Or is there something else going on here that needs tweaking?

Brian, it happens with all the doors....it's only via remote that they don't go down all the way, otherwise manual operation is fine.

Well whatever it was, it's a thing of the past (hopefully for good). I put in 2 new relays I picked up today and everything is fine...Thanks guys for all your help.

happy new year!
