I have an alarm in a 94 Explorer Sport and I can't seem to get the Door lock/unlock relays wired correctly. I have found the pink / YELLOW and pink/lg wires at the driver's kick... I believe the locks are reverse polarity (they are negative at rest). I have wired them to relays as shown for Acuators/Reverse Polarity. What am I doing wrong? I MAY have the incorrect relays, because the schematic for the Federal Mogul DF005 Relays that I have shows 87 & 87A as common outputs. But I live in a remote place, and these are all that I could get off-the-shelf. I believe that this is the problem, but frankly, I am too tired at this point to think straight and need some support!

You need a 30/40 amp SPDT relay for the relay configuration to work. Also, use this wiring diagram: https://www.the12volt.com/doorlocks/page3.asp#5w

Great, but The webpage that you sent me to shows more than one diagram; Which one did you want me to use? Is it the 5 wire positive, or the Reverse Polarity?

5 wire one. Use this and it will work as long as you have the right wires.
