Hello, I am a novice at this so if you guys can bear with me with my dilemma. I have a 1994 Toyota Corolla and I recently installed an aftermarket door locks (5 wire for the driver side, 2 wires for the rest). Everything went okay, the problem started when I added an aftermarket alarm system (Option Group). Everything seemed okay until I get to the connection for the door lock trigger on the alarm. The alarm has 2 wires to trigger the door locking mechanism ( one for positive trigger and one for negative triggers). The door locks I installed had negative triggers so I used the negative wire from the alarm. The door lock system has 2 wires designated for the "alarm system." After reading further and basically experimenting, I found out that the 2 wires from the locking system were to lock and unlock the doors (white wire to lock and brown wire to unlock). I currently have the 1 wire from the alarm system hooked up on the brown wire (unlock). According to the alarm system manual, I am suppose to be able to lock/unlock my doors when I arm/disarm the alarm. Currently, this is not the case and I am seeking help to see if anyone out there can help me figure this thing out. Currently I am not able to do either one when arming or disarming. If anyone has any input, I would greatly appreciate it. thanks so much in advance. ------------- buy basic and upgrade

by the way, there is also a connection (from the brain of the alarm) for the actuator (GREEN/ blue wire) that looks like it is meant to go through a relay. I don't know if it can be used with the current door lock system.

most alarm will have an 250mA power, enough to power a relay. youll need a DLS or two relays for ur actuator. look at the relay section.

thank you for the response. I saw the relay configuration and I will attempt it. Now just to be sure, will I connect the relay to the driver side actuator (which will lock/unlock the rest of the doors) or the brain of the door lock system? Thanks again.

i honesrly don't know. I got it from parts express. Actually, it may be their brand, because the instructions were from parts express. ------------- buy basic and upgrade
