Clifford Model 10 alarm, recently bought from Fry's electronics.

Car: 2000 Honda Prelude, factory prewired for an alarm.

I have everything working except for the doors. I can't get them to lock and unlock.

Here is what the alarm door lock harness look like:

Violet: unlock #87 normally open (input)
Blue/Black: unlock #30 common (output)
BROWN / Black: unlock #87a normally closed
Violet/Black: lock #30 normally open (input)
GREEN/ Black: lock #30 common (output)
WHITE/ Black: lock #87a normally closed
BLACK/ White: domelight supervision relay input #87

I am tapping these wires here:

Arm (key)
20ga. RED / White (-) at factory alarm harness located above foot pedals (should also lock doors)

Disarm (key)
20ga. GREEN/ Orange (-) at same (should also unlock doors)

These instructions were found on this website and was very helpful so far, except now I am stuck on this part of the install.

I have try out the different lock/unlock wires on the alarm but nothing happens when I push the lock/unlock button. I am out of ideas, am I missing something?

Any help would be great. Thanks.

Violet: unlock #87 normally open (input) - goes to ground
Blue/Black: unlock #30 common (output) - goes to the GREEN/ orange in the car
BROWN / Black: unlock #87a normally closed - don't need it
Violet/Black: lock #30 normally open (input) - goes to ground
GREEN/ Black: lock #30 common (output) - goes to the RED / white wire in the car
WHITE/ Black: lock #87a normally closed - don't need it
BLACK/ White: domelight supervision relay input #87 - if you're doing domelight supervison hook this up to ground other wise don't need it
