Hi guys I had my alarm installed about a year ago in my 2006 chrysler 300. the alarm is a clifford matrix, for some apparent reason recently when i press the disarm/unlock button the doors wont unlock. The speaker makes the disarm noise, but the doors wont unlock, so i need to use the keyless entry. Anyone know why this has happened? Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt... Strange. Thanks

Sounds like either a loose connection or the alarm is not giving an output. Look for the unlock which i think is green and see where it leads. Also test that wire with a DMM to see if its giving an output,

Not sure of the lock outputs on Matrix but if it's low current like the Concept 450 etc, you might need a diode each side to condition it or a 450 lock module, methinks body control module is "overpowering" the alarm's lock/unlock outputs.

try looking at the wires connected to the vehicle's lock/unlock wire. this vehicle has a single wire system that requires a negative pulse through a resistor to lock and another through a different value resistor for unlock. the resistor for unlock probably broke off a lead of the resistor itself and is no longer able to unlock the car. i have seen it before on my mother's 2001 grand am which is also 1 wire doorlocks. check that first or bring it back to the installer/shop and have them check it out.
