97 silverado k1500, viper 5706v.

so ive successfully installed a remote start/alarm/keyless entry system in my truck but the door lock button seems to be reversed. i tried to fiddle with it again today but so far ive done just about everything including programming, and reprogramming again. what im saying is that when i push the door lock button on the drivers side downward, it'll unlock. if i push it upwards, it'll lock. so now when i used my fob to unlock it or lock it, it'll do the opposite. the lock button will unlock and arm the alarm so it'll go off when i open the door, and the unlock will lock it and disarm the alarm. one thing i did do was switch the wiring on the drivers side door lock button that goes to a 451m relay for the reverse polarity locks and it worked for the drivers side when i push the button manually but blows the fuse if i use the fob. the passenger side stayed the same (lock unlocks, unlock locks) so im thinking i might wire the passenger side the same way. id like to fix this before i complete the remote start side of the module so i have no complications down the road.

i know at least one of the door lock switches were replaced by the previous owner, so is it possible that maybe they bought a new one and wired it up possibly incorrectly and fixed the other side to match? or maybe bought one for the wrong side and wired it backwards so it would work? maybe?

Am I correct that both the remote buttons and the buttons on the door were working in reverse? Also, when you say fob, are you referring to the factory remote, or the Viper?
