if the car has factory keyless entry, then the door locks are negative trigger. if it does not then the door locks are 5-wire(RAG).

He posted the relay setup that you need. You have to cut the lock and unlock wire between the switch and the motor. Notice that they are both drawn in a straight line. Where they turn and go to the relay is where it is showing the cut.

if i cut the line then would my door locks work with the alarm?

If you wire it exactly as the picture, it will still work with the switch and also work with the alarm.

Do they work with the switches? Have you tried grounding terminal 86 of the left relay to see if it unlocks the doors? When you arm and disarm the alarm, can you feel or hear the relays click?

how did you test the lock wires to make sure you had the correct ones?
