Yes, you will need 2 relays for those doorlocks. It is a five wire setup. On the relay pins 87 and 86 would go to constant 12v, pin 85 would go to lock/unlock output wires from alarm, pin 87A would go to vehicle switch side, and pin 30 would go to vehicle motor side wire. ------------- 17 Year Veteran Tech

caralarmtec is totally wrong. Do a google search for a "DEI 455T". You need to get one of these. Otherwise someone doinging an install for the first time is going to spend over 6 hours doing just the doorlocks alone.

The DEI 455t is a relay pack if your too lazy to wire up your own relays. plus it costs a lot more than two relays!! You might want to learn how to instal Jworm!!

Actually you will need four relays not two. My bad. Just because you will have to go into both front doors for the locks. And here it is directly from DEI for Jworm! Use ORANGE / purple for lock and pink/black for unlock at the drivers door switch to operate the drivers door lock. Use BLACK/ white for lock and pink/black for unlock at the passenger front door switch to unlock all passenger doors. It is required to interface in each door even if the vehicle is equiped with keyless entry. ------------- 17 Year Veteran Tech

A relay pack? Its a databus module ***.
2 relays? I don't think so. Its actually 4. 2 in each front door. I was thinking it was 2 in each front door, and then some more for the rear doors. I forgot the front passenger door would do the rear doors as well. If you could get the wires in the vehicle, then it wouldn't be too bad. A novice installer (like the original poster) would have a much easier time using a 455T than running wires into 2 doors and wiring up 4 relays. I know the time I would save would be worth the cost of the $40 doorlock module.

Use ORANGE / purple for lock and pink/black for unlock at the drivers door switch to operate the drivers door lock. Use BLACK/ white for lock and pink/black for unlock at the passenger front door switch to unlock all passenger doors. It is required to interface in each door even if the vehicle is equiped with keyless entry.
Can also use Directed interface module 455T. This will control door lock, unlock, arm, disarm, dome light supervision and more.

JWorm idea is much better, get the 455T Databus module. Its on ebay right now for under $30. Its way worth the money! Its just a 2 wire hook up to the car at the OBD connection under the dash. While they are both correct in what they are saying, you got to ask yourself, how much is my time worth?? I mean, a mere $30 will save you all the time of pulling off the door panels(2), running wires through the door jamb(twice), and the complexity of wiring 5-wire relay doorlock(in each door). Plus you can make most of your connections between the alarm and the 455T in your house before you even start the alarm. This means the actual install goes much faster! Here are the instructions to lock at for the 455T: https://www.directeddealers.com/manuals/ig/accessories/N455T_04-98.pdf Goodluck in whichever decision you make, Frank
