iv installed the alarm the only thing not working is the locking of the doors.. the table on this site says the WHITE/ red is the lock wire but it doesnt work only the white wire for unlocking works please help is there a wire i need to cut so the WHITE/ red wires will work ? or is there some sort of relay i need to add-on or perhaps locating the central lock module which i have no idea where that is...

how are you making your connections? t-taps, or what? the WHITE/ red is the correct wire.and you say that it unlocks okay?

I would solder all of your connections, that will probably fix your problem!

but why isnt it locking the door am i tapping the wrong WHITE/ red lock wire? the white unlock wire was at the kicker panel the WHITE/ red wasnt on the same connecter harness so i just tapped the white unlock wire of the door connector that leads out to the side of the car to the drivers door, the WHITE/ red was on another connector i used a meter to test WHITE/ red lock wire no values showed up. where is the WHITE/ red wire suppose to be? .. so annoying everything but the lock works.. the keyless still works unlock/lock.. just need to fine that lock wire for the alarm. posted_image
