Hey Cutlass,

You have none of the above.  It is a positive trigger type "A" system.  In either kick you'll find a Light Blue and a simple positive trigger will lock.  At the same spot is a Black wire once again a positive trigger to unlock (same gauge as the light blue wire).   posted_image

Hey 12Volt,

I see what you mean about the wink wink nudge nudge. . .

GM does use a 3 wire positive in that car . . .

What I meant is that he doesn't have to go into the door to install relays as per the 3 wire positive door lock diagram in the link because GM thought of that for him . . .he just has to tap in to the system.posted_image posted_image
