The keyless entry in my wifes car went out,so I decided to put in another keyless entry w/ an alarm.Eveything is fine,except the guy who did the previous install put a momentary switch in the middle console to lock/unlock the doors.How do I go about wiring it up so I can still use it? It has three wires,blk,grn,blue. Thanks

Do you have aftermarket door lock actuators? I'm guessing so, other wise you wouldn't have a switch in the console, just the factory switches. The switch probably is a simple lock switch, I would guess that the black wire would go to ground, then your green would be lock and blue would be unlock. These would send a pulse to a relay pack triggering your door locks.

If you go here https://www.google.com/search?q=BW-852 and click the fourth link,you'll see how the door lock actuators are wired?

your keyless works off an internal relay.. if the locking is positive or negatively controlled.
you will hook one wire off the switch to pos or neg depending how your locking is activated. and the other 2 will go to the lock and unlock.
you will have to test continuity on the switch to find out what wire does what.
1 wire is input the other 2 and switched outputs

The locks are negative.

just have to ground the input wire and put the other wires to your locking

Forgot to mention that the actuators are a 5-wire setup if that makes a difference.
