yellow/blue, WHITE/ lt.green.

lock... unlock. all the way towards the rear of the door. Not at the front. break the harness open where it goes into the door thru a rubber grommet.

The door lock wires in your car a negative trigger so you should be fine to just to wire them directly to your alarm. What system are you installing?
