Hello All,
I am installing a RSX 3.5 Alarm into a Honda CRV 1997. I have located the Lock & Unlock wires and have tested it with the ground. I have also connected the DEI Doorlock harness to the wires respectively. Unfortunately, it does not work. I have also tested the negative output from the alarm, and it does work as well. I am not sure what is the problem.
Could it be a defective brain?
I am quite puzzled myself and trying to look for another brain to test, but until then, I am still trying to figure it out.
Did anybody else encounter a similar problem with the doorlocks?

where did you get the lock/unlock wires the factory alarm plug will be in the drivers kick panel, the green plug will be taped to another harness, get them from there\ lock is GREEN / WHITE and unlock is GREEN/ orange and they are negative pulse

those are the exact wires you have mentioned.
GREEN / WHITE & GREEN/ Orange.
I tested both of those wires with negative signal and it works.
I have also tested both the green and blue wires from the doorlock harness. It works as well. I don't know why the doorlocks do not work.
Everything else functions perfect except the doorlock.

sometimes you will need relays on these two wires to create a better ground

| Power Lock | GREEN / WHITE | - | driver door harness | Notes: Also found at the green factory alarm plug located in the drivers kick panel.
Must use relays to trigger the lock and unlock wires. | | Power Unlock | GREEN/ orange | - | driver door harness | Notes: Must use relays to trigger the lock and unlock wires.
Also found at the green factory alarm plug located in the drivers kick panel. |
Looks like you do need relays to trigger the locks. Wire up as follows 85 to lock output 86 to constant +12volts 87 to ground 30 to lock wire in vehicle. do the same for unlock and you should be good to go. ------------- Cause I'm So white and nerdy...

you don't always need relays, but in this case it looks like you do I did a 98 CRV about a month ago at work and I never used relays and it has worked perfectly fine
