I just installed a remote starter and alarm in the van.

I can not figure out how the dam door locks work.

I took the door apart and I am still not sure.

Do I need to use relays for them?

I had read conflicting advise about the door locks.

Please help

Thanks
John

I removed the switch from the door and looked at the power lock switch. There are 5 wires to it.

I then removed the kick panel and found lots of wires down there.

So you are telling me is that I need to wire them up 5 Wire Alternating 12 Volts Positive Door Locks.

Using 2 relays?

Yes, you would use this diagram for 5-wire reversal.

DEI lists the locks as:

Power Lock red to ORANGE / black 5wi either kick, door harness
Power Unlock brown to yellow/red 5wi either kick, door harness

and has this note:

FORD, ECONOLINE, 2004, Power Lock

Use the passenger door lock switch when metering the wires, as it is the master switch.

On vehicles with remote keyless entry, use pink / YELLOW (-) for lock and pink/lt. green (-) for unlock in either kick or at the VSM in the passenger kick.

Hope this helps.

Does this mean that if you have factory keyless entry, you dont need a relay?

That is correct.
