Help installing aftermarkey keyless entry Options

[Dennisthe10]

hi guys, back to work on the car

installing the control unit thingy for an aftermarket keyless entry, so far i have grounded the unit and supplied the constant 12v, all fine, unit is clicking upon pressing the keyfob buttons so i have power!

I followed a website listing for what wires to connect to what and the unit was still responding but nothing was happening to the locks, im wiring straight into the existing central locking module under the steering wheel. I know im hacking into the correct wires as i have lost central locking from the passenger door now so im on the right path....

basically, i have a few wires left and don't know what color wires to connect them to...

different websites tell me different things so any idea what wire is lock and which is unlock? also if anyone knows which one will make the turn signals OR main beams flash that would be great

Thanks in advance

What do you mean by you have lost central locking on passenger door now? I hope you didn't cut that wire, you just tap into it.

Power Lock Blue/Back
Power Unlock Blue and Green (two wires!)

The article also says "Use both wires and diode isolate each.", but I didn't do it.

Thanks man, I'll give it a go. I didn't cut them, tapped in but think something has worked loose

When it comes to tapping the wires everyone has their preferences... some say its best just to strip the wire clean, twist it around the tapped wire and tape it tight. Some (myself included) prefer soldering the wires anyway. I've seen also some clips you can use to tap into the wires, where you just insert the new wire and clip it onto another. So this is kinda your choice, but if you intend to keep this gadget in your car for more than a year I suggest you solder and insulate it properly.
