Alright, I'm hooking up my Freedom 500 alarm. I've got the lock/unlock wires, but the locks won't go up and down. I had my bro. test them with an analog voltmeter, and he said it's putting out little to no power. He thought maybe I need to put in some relays to make them work. (I know how to use relays, I hooked my headlights up to my foglights with them. Thanks to this site.) I'm just kinda lazy and wondering if this is what I would have to do with this system without actually trying it, unless I just decide to do it sometime. I have the alarm working so that if it's armed, and someone opens the door, the alarm goes off, and they can't start the car with a key (Although I'm sure they could hot-wire it easily enough.). And you can just take out the relay, and run a wire across it (That's what I did while I was trying to install the alarm and wasn't finished.)
Well, any help is appreciated.

Ya right, like I can afford to throw mine out. My brother has practically the same system in his Cavalier. He's just usually too busy hanging with his friends or/and partying.
