i recently installed remote keyless entry and now i want to use the lock and unlock 12v signals thru diodes to have my indicator lights flash.

all i need is the hazard light wire colours and where to find or if anyone has better idea of achieving this.

cheers

Why not use your parking light wire? It does the same thing. It's at the switch and shows 12v when on.

Because the rest of the world barring North America uses amber indicators. Lock motor output to 86 on relay, ground (earth) to 85, 12v+ constant at 20amps to 30 and output to each side from 87 via 2 x 1N5402 etc diodes. As for your left and right, I haven't a clue, test at the rear bulbs and follow forwards or look for a blue and a blue/red in the floor loom, that's the colour UK Fords use. N.B. I've never heard of a keyless entry system from either Europe or the US which didn't have lights or indicator output.
