Hi,

In my '92 Integra, I do not have power door locks. When I was fixing the actuator I installed, I noticed a set of 3 wires going across the door into (what I think is) the factory actuator. Could I possibly have the wires for power door locks without having the power door locks? Then I could get rid of those actuators!

Thanks! (Here's a pic)

I found a schematic for the door, and also an actuator test. The test says it will be a 4-pin connector, but the ones I found are only 3....although they're going to the same spot the diagram shows. Coming from the actuator, they're red, black, and white...and then when they hit the connector, they switch to blues (different stripes). How can I test these 3 wires? Can I just give them power and ground to see? Here's the schematic and actuator test.

have you tested the wire for possitive etc. and well do you have a power door lock switch . test to see if any of them are 12volt poss and wether its constant or switched if it is switched than it is not a door lock system cause there would be constant powernot switched it is probably for something else ???

I think those are for the power mirror wirs ? I am not for sure but the harness for the mirrors is only 3 wires.

Nope, I don't have a power door lock switch.

Yea, they're 3 wires, but they run to the end of the door to the "latch" (I think it's called). That's why I thought they would be for power door locks. Hmm....
