I have a 1992 ford ranger xlt with a 4.0. I have installed a avital 4105L remote starter locks and security.
the remote start is working great. Door locks are not working at all. lock or unlock, I am getting signal to the wires.
Feel like I may be missing something. I get no horn or light flash either. Here is the unit wiring and what i have done.
any help would be great! Thanks!

3: (-) Starter Output - not hooked up...does it need to be?
4: (-) Ignition Output - not hooked up...does it need to be?

Heavy gauge relay wiring

You probably have the correct vehicle lock wires but for that truck they are Type C locks.

A simple direct connection of the 4105's (-) lock output will not work. You should get a Directed 451M Door Lock Module and follow the Type C install diagram.
They are available on eBay, etc for around $10.

Go to the Downloads sections and search on 451M for the Install guide.

If you had a couple of 30/40 Amp SPDT relays and an inline fuse holder you could do the it hard way and follow this diagram :

lots of trying with out much luck with the relays. Here is what i've done doesn't blow fuses but not really working either. Unlock makes a buzzing noise and lock makes a tick noise. lol this made me happy I used up alot of fuses before I got to this point. please help :oops:

Does it matter were in the lock wire I connect to?

I followed the wire to the drivers side near the headlight in a harness. I have verified it is the right wire.

Looking at your diagram, I think you want to start over.

The two Ranger wires you want to cut are the Pink/Yellow and Pink/Light Green wires as mentioned above. (Not sure what you are doing with the Black/White wire but remove the connections.) Do one cut at a time and verify that the corresponding lock/unlock function stops working. This will ensure you have the correct wires. To determine which side of the cut is the motor or switch, follow this tip :

Easy way to tell which side of the cut wire is the switch and which is the motor, is to cut the wire and then press the button. If it shows 12v it is the switch side of the button you just pressed. Some times it isn't always easy to tell which end goes to the switch and which side goes to the car.

Follow this diagram for the relays, 4105 and ranger wire connections :

Basically you are cutting the vehicle wire and adding in the relay. The Rangers locks will function normally and the 4105 will be able to control the locks when necessary.

All is working as I stated. locks and rs. Only thing i am struggling with now is the horn and lights, The picture i posted above shows the wires I am suppose to connect to. the brown park lamp wire is outputting constant 12v and i am connected right out of the back of switch. The horn wire yellow with blue stripe is also outputting constant 12v i am connected at the relay. I'm guessing the location is my issue with the horn. Since its suppose to be a negative input? Lights probably the same issue i should be on the switch output to the lights I am probably on the input the the switch. These are all just guess's but before i wrap it all up and tuck it away I want it to be complete. I did do the horn program to make sure the horn feature was enabled. posted_imageposted_image

You can easily test the (+) Brown Parking Light wire with a DMM. It should show +12V with either Parking Lights or Headlights ON. The issue might be the 4105 Parking Light output. There is a three pin jumper on the side of the 4105 control unit that allows you select either (+) or (-) output. It typically comes in the (+) output position but double check that the jumper is there and in the correct position for (+) output.

I usually grab the horn at the steering column. On most older Ford's it is Blue. You can test for this wire with a DMM. Set to 20V DC, Red lead to +12V constant and Black test lead to suspect Horn wire. You should get +12V when the horn button is pressed. Be careful in the steering column, any harness in Yellow or any Yellow connector/plug is for the Airbag. Sometimes Ford mixes regular wires in with air bag wires.
