I am installing an older Clifford Smart Remote Starter III in my 01 F250 with factory remote keyless entry. The instructions with the kit are pretty vague but I slowly got through it spending an hour or two on it every few days. Good news is it works great and like it is supposed to. The only thing I haven't finished is hooking up the wires to lock/unlock the doors.
I have the following 6 wires listed in the remote start wiring diagram:
door lock Common
door lock normally open
door lock normally closed
door unlock common
door lock normally open
door lock normally closed
I'm totally lost at this point. I don't think I need to hook up all wires. But I don't know which ones I would need to hook up. I searched all over and read to hook up to a Pink / YELLOW and pink/green wire in a molex plug to the right of the steering column. I tried this but am getting no results. Both wires have 12volts at all times.
Im getting confused mainly because I have 6 wires for the locks from the R/S unit but only 2 wires on the truck to hook into. I think I understand this is a negative trigger system. Do one of those extra wires go to grond or is the ground throgh the R/S system? I just need details on all the wires please.
This by far is the most informative site I've come across but I've read too much, it's too late, and I am as confused as ever.

Lock and unlock normally closed are not used.

Both normally open go to ground.

lock common goes to the (-)pink / YELLOW lock wire of the truck

unlock common goes to the (-)pink/green unlock wire of the truck

That was it.  You couldn't have explained it any easier.   I didn't have anything grounded when I was poking around with the vehicle's wiring. 

Thanks a lot.  My first installation is compleate and I am very happy with it.  Now for the wife's car and if that goes well I may take a shot at a manual transmission 89 Mustang.

Come on, it's an '89 Mustang.  I've replaced all those wires to or three times already.ford locks and remote start hook up. -- posted image.    Actually the car runs like a champ with 124,000 on it.  Its my daily driver and I could get much more use out of a R/S ssystem in that than anything else.  Looks could be better but are not that bad.  Especially since the first 11 years of its life it never saw a garage and now it shares a bay with the truck.
