Hello,

I've installed (not me, at specialist) on my car a remote starter with keyless entry entry option built-in. It's working nice. Now I wanna install a door actuator, so I bought one. It has only two wires, gun shape, and I tried it first on my car battery - it's doing lock/unlock functions by reversing the polarity on those 2 wires. I've identified on remote box 2 empty connectors (one with 2 and one with three pins). With a meter I checked both, by pushing Lock/Unlock buttons on my remote. It's seems that the connector with 3 pins gives me some pulses. I cannot find my remote starter type on internet - it's a Orbit AT25, pretty good, 1000 ft range bla bla.

Please can you help me with this one? I need to install some extra relays and how to configure them?

Thank you!

Thanks!

That's means I'll buy also 2 relays.

But, could you help me with some infos about where to connect those wires on remote starter box? I know that's depends to the model, but usualy, there is any identification on the box to find out where exactly?

Mine is Orbit 1550/1350, and I couldn't find the wiring connections. I have only the utilisation guide.

Thanks again!

well, I never seen or heard about this remote starter. If you have the installation guide than follow it, but you can't find the wire because the person who installed in your vehilce might removed the door lock wires. You will need to find those wire from somewhere else. The best way to find those wire or wire plug by calling your location car audio shop.

Good luck.

yeah. 10nesne1 is right. Most of the time if the installer does not install a feature they cut the wires short or in your case they just tose the litle wiring harness for the locks to the side.

It sounds like you found the correct plug in port. The outside pins are for lock/unlock and the center pin it to send power (+) to the relay pack. JUST the relays not the actuators.

Go back to the shop and tell them you need the lock harness that the install did not supply (should have been taped to the brain). 1) you already paided for it 2) the probably have ton's laying around their shop.
