Hi, I sure hope you can help me. I have a 1985 Nissan 300zx. I have installed a "Controller 1" alarm and most is working well except the door locks. Alarm diagram has a 1 red and 1 black wire to "Optional doorlock module", so I bought a BDLM module. On alarm brain I have a violet for (+) 12v door trigger or a green for a (-) grounding door trigger. BDLM module comes with 4 install choices: - Jap style, + GM style, 5 wire voltage reversal, or Adding door lock motors. Which style do I use? Also, BDLM has 2 sets of wires. One set to neg pulse lock (unlock).What is neg pulse? Other set of wires have green to lock motor, blue to unlock. I have actuators on both doors from previous non-working clifford. Can you please tell me who gets what wire???? Thanks!

door "trigger" wires are NOT to work the power locks. They are to look for voltage on the wire when the door is opened to set off the alarm. They DO NOT output.
look here at page 9 the bottom will tell you how to install the actuators (5-wire reversal).

I cannot find instructions on the lock device you bought. Hopefully it's outputs match the sheet you got with it.
The output wires from an alarm to door locks are usually green blue and red. All together on one little connector. The red is to power the relays only and the blue and green trip the relay to cause the actuators to open and close. If you have these outputs and cannot get the wiring to work for on the device you bought then just get 2 relays from autozone and wire it manually. The instructions are detailed.
