I have my Crimestopper CS-2016FM alarm installed and everything seems to be working except the door locks.
I have my green lock signal from the crime stopper connected to the BLACK/ Blue wire at the 12 pin connector in the drivers kick panel. I have the blue unlock wire connected to the RED / Yellow in the same location. Both wires are diode isolated from the module with the cathode facing the alarm. This was per the install instructions.
When I arm the alarm nothing happens. I have probed the signal coming out of the module and I do not see the negative pulse that is supposed to happen. Similarly, there is no pulse from the unlock wire from the module.
Am I missisng something? Do I have my connections correct? Do I have a bad brain?
Thanks for all the help.

Thanks for the suggestion, but doesn't that just affect the unlock? I can't get the lock to work either.

Success!
However, it took a lot more work than I hoped. It seems that the Crimestopper was not providing a good ground connection to activate the negative door locks. It was around 100 ohms or so and the relay would not activate.
I got around this by using the Crimestopper's positive door lock/unlock circuit to activate an external power relay that in turn properly grounded the lock/unlock signals. Voila! All is working.
And David, I did have to use the child safety switch. I diode isolated it to operate with the unlock relay. Seems to all be working now.
Thanks all for the help!
