Commando Keyless entry Problem

Hi, I own a 2005 Nissan TitanXE. In November I ordered a PowerLock/Keyless entry kit from Commando Alarms. I finally got the motors installed in the doors. Then when I tried to connect the Keyless entry module with the supplied connections it will not work. I have messed with it on and off for over a month now trying to get it to work. The keyless entry module has power and makes a clicking noise when I hit Lock/Unlock on the remote. The kit i purchased is here. https://www.slickcar.com/productdetails.asp?Productid=3270

I didn't intend to hook anything up as far as parking light or horn, all I have hooked up it the power, ground and the blue/green lock/unlock are wired into the door locks with the wire they provide. This appears to be the same instructions that came with the module. https://www.commandoalarms.com/CS30manual.pdf

Do I have to hook up the horn, lights, wire to the ignition? I didn't want to do this as all I wanted was basic look and unlock. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem, see post down the page some. I have the system set up on the bench with a small test battery. I can hear relays clicking as would be expected, but the actuators don't do a thing.

How did you connect the remote entry module to the power lock module? The instructions didn't give any directions on that, I've called Commando and they told me to hook the blue/green off the remote module to the BROWN / white on the door lock module.

The instructions were very vague. I connected the blue/green lock/unlock coming out of the keyless entry into the wires that come off the door lock motors. On the door lock set that I got there is a Blue and Green wire coming out of the bundle of wires that run to the door locks. In my case they were wrapped in tape with the bundle of wires. I assumed that that was what they were for since the extra blue and green wires were hanging out of the bundle. I inspected the wires and that appears to be what they were ment for they are spliced into the wires that un from the door locks. When I put a wire tester on the wires I get a light off of both the keyless wires and the ones coming off the doors when I lock or unlock. Glad to know someone else is going through the same thing. I emailed them twice about a month ago and I never received a response. I really wnt to figure this out myself rather than having to pay someone to do which iss why I got this "simple to install" kit.   

I have never gotten a reply via e-mail, but was able to get through to the tech line once. It's hard to deal with because their business hours are my working hours.

I did the same thing as you did, connecting blue/green together. The one time I spoke to someone there I told the tech that I did that and he didn't blurt out "oh man you've screwed it up now" or anything :)

I'm leaning toward the actuators being the problem, not the modules. Maybe connecting to the blue/green wires damaged them. As I mentioned I've got it out on the bench, am hoping to get to return to it tonight to fight with it some more. I'm going to try to wire the actuators up without involving the modules at all if I can figure out which of the connections are which.

Please post back if you figure anything out and I'll do the same.

Yeah thats a problem for me too. I work till 5 or later and by the time I get off I don't have much lite to mess with it. I posted in another forum and they recommended I switch the blue/green wires and connect them opposite. I tried that also and nothing. In another place I posted they said that there might not be enough voltage coming off the wires and that I would need a relay to make the signal stronger. This would kind of make sense considering I tested the blue/green wires with a line tester and got a light both when I locked and unlocked. I have had the kit sense I bought my car in November I would really like to get them working, hopefully we can figure this thing out.
Another thing I wonder about is the ignition power source and the other ground, from my understanding this is if you want starter kill but this could be what is keeping them from working?

Oh forgot to mention, I don't think connecting them that way damaged the actuators because mine are working great. I haven't had any problem with their operation since I put them in. Just haven't been able to unlock with the remote.

I specifically asked commando about relays, none are needed, they are a part of that small door opener module.

Try connecting blue-green to brown-white as per their directions, you may get them working.

Oops - forgot one thing - I don't think not wiring up ignition will cause the system to not work. But it will cause the doors to re-lock after 30 seconds because the system will not detect that you unlocked the door and started the car.

I only connected two grounds - one for each module. I need to revisit the diagram and see where the other ground you mention is.

Ok, I posted in another forum and the guy over at alarmtek said that we have 5 wire locks there for the brown and white wires coming off the driver side actuator is what we should tap into. I haven't had a chance to try yet, he said that that was from the manual for the actuators. The only actual instructions I got were for the keyless module. The door locks only came with a picture, that just told me what the ground and the power wire were. Would have been nice to have instructions, its a good thing i found pics on the internet of what the install looked like.

Thanks, that agrees with what Commando told me. I'm glad one of us is making progress.

One point though - I just went out and checked and the brown and white wires for both right and left sides are connected in the harness. So if we're just to connect to the driver's side then there'll have to be some wires cut.

Last night after work I went out and trimmed the plastic off the brown wire and hooked the blue/green wires into and I got it to unlock with the remote. I think it ended up being the blue wire was the right one. It was raining and dark to I didn't explore much. I don't plan on cutting the wires I am just going to shave the plastic back and splice in. I am trying to find some T connectors that allow you to tap a wire without cutting. Hopefully weather permitting I will get them working tonight. I'll let you know.

You can get those tap connectors at auto parts stores, I forget what they're called but they have some trademarked name for them. I wanna say "Tap-Cons" but that's what a certain kind of masonary screw is called.

I think I might go mess with my system a little here in a while.

What other forum did you post in? Here it's just me and you, would sure like to get some advice from someone that knows what's going on.

Planning to get on the phone with Commando today to try to isolate what's wrong with my system. I checked out the BROWN / white wires last night, and with both actuators retracted I get 12v BROWN / GND white, both acutators extended I get GND BROWN / 12v white, and with one extended and the other retracted I get no voltage. Don't see how connecting that to a 12v/GND trigger wire is going to make anything happen besides sparks.

How many wires do you have coming out of the door locking module? I just happened to notice that on the back of the box there's a wiring diagram showing a total of 8, with two sets of BROWN / white. The module I've got here is missing the right most 2nd set of BROWN / white. There's a place for the socket for those to be soldered down to the circuit board, but it ain't there!

Hey, got mine working this afternoon! While hooking it up I noticed that if the led wasn't plugged in it wouldnt work. I wired into the drivers side BROWN / white wires before they combined with the passenger in the wire bundle.   I believe the brown went into the blue and that is unlock. Now all I have to do is wire into the parking light, horn and dome light. I might attempt that this weekend. Let me know how it goes.
Are your door locks working on their own?

My door locks do not work at all no matter what I try.

The connectors on the module do not match up with a schematic on the box, or with an install document I found. There should be BROWN / white wires separate from the 6 wire harness. Those should connect be next to the 6 wire harness connection on the module.

My module does not have that connector (bare pin holes on the PCB are visible), and it didn't come with a harness to plug into it.

I was on hold for 1/2 hour last night then finally got to leave the tech guy a message which has not been returned yet.

Yeah my door lock module was missing two connectors too. I remember when I first put the locks in i was concerned about that. You have the central locking kit right, where if you lock one the other one is suppose to lock too. I had my locks working before I even started messing with the keyless. On the door locks when I first put them in the ground wasn't very good and they didn't work. Since you have them on a bench though it seems they would be easier to see where the problem is. Have you tried just pulling the actuator to see if they unlock?
