I'm losing my mind trying to hook up my keyless entry I bought to the power lock system on my 1997 Pontiac Sunfire SE 4 door. I have the alarm working perfectly, but I have tried for 2-3 hours to figure out the power door lock system. The car is not equipped with factory keyless entry, just power locks. I think it is a 5 wire alternating system? I put a system in my 91 Camry and it was extremely easy, this car is a pain.

I have installed alarms, but not in this type of system. the Camry was 2 wires and it worked flawlessly, do I need to use relays??? I found the light blue/white wires, so I need to do it all from the passengers side? kick panel? Or right from the switch itself?

| 5 Wire Alternating 12 Volts Positive Door Locks | Like the configuration above, the switch, when moved in either direction, applies both power and ground directly to motor legs without the use of any relays. Except, at the switch in this case, both motor legs rest at ground . Therefore it is only necessary to change the polarity of one motor leg to lock or unlock the vehicle.
