Hi, I've setting up a Viper 5901 remote start system and I've been following the guides on this (and other) site(s). In any case, everything works perfectly, except for the doorlocks (meaning they won't unlock/lock when the lock/unlock button is pressed). Now, it says (in multiple places) that the power lock/unlock wires are the BROWN / white and BROWN / blue wires at "Driver's Kick Panel at Door Lock Relays". Can anyone supply some pictures or hints as to where this is and how to easily access it without plucking down the 'entire' dashboard? posted_image

Look for the loom going into the car from the driver's door. The driver kick panel is the lower section in front of the door. Also lower dash, above your knees, white plastic section with two or more relays, one is the lock/unlock relay.

Thanks for the fast response!
I already found the loom and found the wires, but I couldn't see where they were going, so I left them (for now. I was thinking of doing the connections in the loom if I'm desperate). As for the white plastic section, I think I know what you're talking about, as that was where I tried my first connection (The middle relay. It had 3 BROWN / blue and 3 BROWN / white. I only tried one pair), but it didn't do anything. Do you have any more info on which relay it is?

(BTW the doorlocks are three wire negative pulse)

It's the bigger relay, black on the left in right hand drivers.

So it was raining today and I haven't been able to look at this as much as I wanted too. I managed to take some pictures however, and I was wondering if these were the relays you were talking about?:

If those are the relays in question, I'm having difficulty accessing them) and I was wondering if you had any tips on how to easily get to them. My car is Left hand drive btw, if that makes any difference.

None of them, go for the wiring coming in fro the driver's door.

So I opened the driver door and it seems that the whole wire setup has been changed. I had my powerlocks (only driver door) fixed last year and it seems that the workshop changed the whole setup for my locks (no longer three wire negative pulse, there were 4 wires running from the lock...). I still tried to find the wires that would give the right response according to note #201, but since I didn't get anything, I'm gonna go back to that same workshop and have them install/fix this last part.

Thanks for all your help howie ll : )
