I installed after market power door locks in my sunfire. I used 2 relays. The problem is that when I try to add a second switch to lock / unlock, the relays appears not to be strong enough to drive both both motors, it work fine with one switch, but I need 2 switches. Any ideas?

How are you tying in the extra switch?

Ok, your problem is that you are making this too complicated. All you need is this diagram. Then wire your switches to pass a negative trigger. Wire your switches to the (-) Lock input's (labeled as alarm(-)lock/unlock output). Then this will work. Using multiple setups is what is causing you to blow fuses.
