I just put in a Megalarm 1300 system in my 67 Camaro. The one thing that's got me stumped is unlocking and turning alarm off, the door locks won't go up. When locking and turning alarm the actuators will close the door locks properly.

How can I test to hooking up the white wire at the door lock control module? I'd first unplug the wire from the main alarm control module so as not to damage it. The schematics say the white and brown wires at the control modules to be 300 mA. Should I just take a regular 12 volt lead and flash the white wire to see if it makes the actuators pop up the door locks?

White and brown are -outputs that should be driving relays. Touching them to 12 volts won't do anything. Describe how your relays are wired.

Hi,

No relays from brown or white to the door actuators module, not sure if that's called a relay? Brown goes to brown on the door actuator module brown wire and the white goes to the white on door actuator module. The brown works as the door locks shut upon activating alarm but white not working as not popping up door locks when disabling alarm. One other thing is that the actuators do work in popping up manually....if I pull up on either door lock the other door lock pops up in sync, which is good news but just leaving the problem of popping up upon disabling alarm. Below is the schematic for the system. posted_image

Oops! When I said "white to white" in reference to the above schematic I should have said "white to purple".
