I have an 87 ford ranger, and a 91 ford explorer.  

I have installed my alarms in both vehicles with the exception of the power door locks which has always confused me, Its like algebra I can see it, i can be shown it and in the end it just wont sink in.

My alarms have both + and - trigger wires  but I cant remember the process for the fords   ie relays, no relays, direct connect...     so any assistance on this would be appreciated.

Thanx, Mike
