I have a Autodvox Prestige Remote Strater/Keyless Entry system (APS 685). I got the Remote Start to work perfectly (it's been great this winter). My problem is I never got the keyless entry to do anything.

I have a 2001 Dodge Stratus SE 4 door. The Wiring chart I have reads it's a single wire set up "Lock is positive thru a 1800 ohm resistor and unlock is positive thru a 750 ohm resistor. Must use relays"

I found the resistors, bought 2 relays, I'm just confused on which wire goes to which part of the relay. Here's the wires I have:

From the Keyless Entry:

Green is Positive lock, negative unlock

Red is Negative lock, positive unlock

RED / Black is Negative 2nd unlock

The vechile is just the WHITE/ Dark Green wire on the BCM (I found this after hurting my back)

If anyone knows of a diagram it would help me out competely.

It is similar to this. Just put the resistors on thirty of the correct relay then join them and connect them to the lock wire.

I wired it up. I hear one relay clicking but the door locks won't move. Could I possibly have the resistors wired n reverse. Is there a direction they need to go?

Only one relay clicks also? the lock side.

I'm not electically inclined. But in my mind don't you need a ground somewhere? Is the 85 and 86 be a ground instead of having two power sources to the relay?

I'm tapping into the White wire wth the dark green strip.

I thought I had my meter but my Dad borrow it without asking. (why did I give him a key to the garage) I'm going to get it back from him and test the resistors and that wire to see maybe I don't have the right Ohm need or maybe I was sold the wrong resistor.
