Hi. Got the remote lock/unlock working great on a new unit,
BUT now the drivers side door switch quite working. (The factory passanger side lock switch works normally.)

The following link shows exactly how I have it hooked up.

Thanks for any help you can give guys! Thanks!

So if you use the keyless entry it works fine but if you push the button on the drivers door, nothing happens?

PLEASE HELP:
I have tried this wiring setup: https://www.wichitavocations.com/locks.html
and the one suggested above.

STILL, the remote locks work great, but the regular inside power lock switch is dead. (Switch works fine without relays, so switch is ok)
