Hi,
I have bought a keyless entry system on ebay for my 96 mazda 626. I fell for the "easy fit!" "anyone can do it!" stuff and now feel out of my depth and silly.
The 'instructions' were actually just a cryptic wiring diagram in mangled English making reference to negative triggers and positive triggers. How do I know what kind of trigger I have? :-)
All of the wiring diagrams I've looked up on the net have mentioned that for my Mazda 626 I need to add an actuator to the driver's door. Actually, I don't think I do. I've tested locking the car from the passenger door and all locks work.
So basically, any help on where I go from here would be MUCH appreciated.
I can scan the 'instructions' I got but I'd love some specific help - where things are, what type of wire taps I should use, where I should fit the damn thing...
And if it's even as complicated as it's made out! I've read on other forums I need only to connect ground, and to splice into the drivers footwell two wires coming from the driver's door harness!
THANKS GUYS!

do you have a lock/unlock button on the door by the power window switch? If you do, then you do not need an actuator. If you don't....you need the actuator. My notes say you NEED the actuator. It's needed to move the lock tab on the inside of the door. Pull the door panal and you'll see. Here is one look at it And YOUTUBE is good too. Mount it so the unit can move free and easy. Wire the relay like this  -------------

I don't have a lock/unlock button on the door - but why would I need an actuator when that door already has an actuator in it?
Bear in mind this is a European car so may be different to the car you're thinking of.
Unfortunately your diagram is pitched over my head.
Basically I have a control box with a whole load of wires coming out of it. I know that I have to splice these into existing wires but I don't know how to get at these wires etc...
