i have a 97 fford explorer that the driver door will not open with the key. i purchased a valet 712t KE system to handle this problem. Now i am sure if i have 3 or 5 wire locks. i tried installing it with 2 relays as a 5 wire but never could get it to work. anyone hav any input here for me please

frustrated

Doesn't take long to remove door panel & look at Door Lock

If it is FACTORY Door Locks:

Power Lock	PINK / YELLOW ( - )	DRIVER KICK
Power Unlock	PINK/L GREEN ( - )	PANEL

Negative Pulse Door Locks

i guess i meant to ask about the relay situation. Do i even need to wire 2 relays in this system or not? and if i do, 3 wire or 5 wire? I am not very sure which application to use

Some installer direct wire the wires from your 712t KE to Factory wires.

I use .....2 SPDT Relays:

Relay 1

LOCK:
PIN 87 = PINK / Yellow Lock wire
PIN 87a = XX
PIN 30 = GROUND
PIN 85 = Negative Lock Output from 712t KE
PIN 86 = Constant 12 volt ( + )

Relay 2

UNLOCK:
PIN 87 = PINK / L.Green
PIN 87a = XX
PIN 30 = GROUND
PIN 85 = Negative UNLock Output from 712t KE
PIN 86 = Constant 12 volt ( + )
