Installed an alarm on a 97 BMW 318is 2 door.Used door lock wires in the driver kick panel as the ones on the oem alarm connector below glove box did nothing.
I found a white for lock and blue/gray for unlock and it was a 5 wire reversal system.
Now what happens is that every morning the keyless entry does not work and you have to unlock the door with the key.The alarm system disarms but locks dont work.
Through out the day,there is no problems and keyless entry works fine.The gas lid also does not lock/unlock with keyless and only does work with locking/unlocking with key.
Any tips.Thanks

The power locks are in the factory alarm plug located behind the glove box.  You said you looked below, did you bring the glovebox down?  They are WHITE/ red(lock), and blue/red(unlock).The alarm plug is a black 12 pin plug.

Think you've miswired to a motor wire rather than trigger and you are dealocking but not unlocking! Enice has it right as usual.
