Hi, everyone, I'm hoping you guys can help me out here. I installed power door locks in my'03 F100. They are the factory two wire actuators controlled by a five wire rocker switch mounted on the dash. I'm not using relays. They worked great until I attempted to also connect an Ebay after market keyless entry. When I attempted to use the keyless entry, I burned it out and blew out the fuse I had going to the rocker switch.I know I'm crossing wires somewhere, or maybe I have to use relays. This time I have an Avital 2101L keyless entry I want to install, but I don't want to burn it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
