Hello all, am installing a universal central door unlocking system that has a basic install diagram. It came with 4 actuators, two of which had 5 wires and the other 2 has 2 wires (blue/green). I installed it in my wifes 4 door 96 toyota corolla but it plain does not work.
One of the actuator with the five wires (black, brown, white, blue and green) I put in the driver door and hook up all the wires, black to ground, and the rest to the small relay unit that came with the system, the other lock actuator with 5 wires i just hooked up the blue and green wires since the one in the driver door is the master.
I also think they send me two by mistake as the wiring diagram and the picture on the box only show 1 of the actuators with 5 wires.
I hooked power from battery to the relay unit power wire, it has an inline 15 amp fuse and hooked the groung up. it has two output wires thats brown and white, these as 12 volts on them so i know it has power. the diagram just indicate that these wire go to alarm system, i try to ground each to test lock but no go, there is no sound or movement whatsoever, i tried to apply power to one of the actuator wire while grounding the other and nothing worked.
i just can't believe all actuators and relay unit is dead, its a new unit. since the install diagran said the 2 output wires go to alarm system, am wordering if it has to be operated by remote. i am installing a lcd remote start/alarm system as well but wanted to test the locks to see if they indeed work before starting the alarm/remote start install.
any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
what brand and model do you have? doorlook system are simple it sounds like you got some thing wrong

bring back the rotary phone so i dont have to press 1 to proceed in english
dont need to know model or anything, its a basic master with slave door lock system.
I have always used regular actuators and wired it up like
this
But if you are saying that when you give the actuators 12v and ground and it still dont move. then the actuators must be dead.
Check all 4 actuators one more time, take one end of each terminal to the battery so you can comfirm they are 100% dead. (reverse the wiring too)
man i feel dumb. I had the car in the garage for around 5 days, my meter showed 12 volts on the wire in the car but not enough juice to activate the locks. They work now.
I have another question. On the control unit, there is a brown and a white wire. The install diagram says these wires go to alarm system. They have 12 volts on them and grounding one locks while when grounded the other unlocks. Do I need a relay to wire that to my alarm/remote starter?
Thanks.
My alarm unit has jumpers which i can set for negative or positive central locking systems. Its a Huatai Ht-800d . I like the owner recognition feature but i hate the manual, its too tiny, lol.
try and find out if it works fine if not add relays
