More specifically, I am trying to install keyless entry into my 89 camaro. First thing I need to do is to decide what type of locking system I have. I see 3 wires, black, orange and light blue. Now I need to figure out what each of these wires does. I do not have a multimeter or other test device to use, so I'm hoping someone on here will know what each wire does.

There are 8 types of locks they have listed
A:(+) 12V pulses from the switch to the factory relays
B:(-) pulses from the switch to the factory relays
C:reversing polarity
D:aftermarket actuators
E:mercedes-benz and audi
F:one-wire system
G:posetive (+) multiplex
H:negative (-) multiplex

I think it should probably be a or b, but am not sure which...or it might be a multiplex system =( i dunno

 

There are more wires than that, what you are seeing is just the wires to the switch. Maybe this will help you some.

before u replied i thought this was gonna be simple...thanks a lot!

=) heh, sorry...i really am gratefull for info.....I haven't really had a chance to look in the car too much. I looked with door panels off...then followed the taped up wires to the fuse box (fuse box is under passenger side of dash right? please correct if I am mistaken) but I didnt cut the tape so I'm not posetive that those r the 3 I think they are going into it...

after looking at the install manual I thought things would be pretty easy if I can figure out for sure what kind of door locks these fit under...but now I'm thinking I'm going to either need a multimeter, need to call the producer to try and get more vehicle specific info, or go to an actual install place (last resort)

first thing I need to do when I get a lil more free time is look at all the wiring and identify each of these wires as the ones on the page u sent me..the biggest problem is going to be finding where each of these things are.

switches, duh...door lock relay assembly..no clue...lock motors? are these the actuators inside the doors? if so I cleaned and rehocked those up to the metal things to get them to work...so I know where those are...fuse block..is that whats under passenger side dash, or is that the cpu?

sorry for stupid questions, i really am trying to learn....thanks again for help....lol i dont even wanna know what I woulda ended up trying without it.....we'll just say itd b bad

 

Wouldnt this be reversing polarity?

 

probably...i bought the keyless entry thing online...and i dont think it has a complete install manual..so I'm gonna try and get my hands on that...i dont have anything explaining what the specific types are in depth...i dont wanna screw somethin up doin it wrong..just got my locks workin again


if anyone wants to check it out,
http://www.corecapacity.com/Print1041.pdf
is the pdf file...ill be reading and re-reading that..just printed it out, but someone who actually knows what these things mean might be able to help a lil

 

actually after re readin that a few times im gonna say ur probably right...by the way it says that it sends one voltage and the other ground

ok, found some helpfull files that I will upload...or type out by hand, i think its either reversing...or multiplex

 

this dosent say what type of system it is but i hope this helps

oh oh oh, very cool =) printing....printing lots of junk so ill b ready when i actually start cutting wires and messing with things...tells me what all the wires r that ill b lookin at, thanks!

 

I tell you i can hook almost anything up but i dont know what the hell the factory was doing when designing some of these circuits.

 

that sounds promising

heh o well...ill have lots of time to mess with this in the next week or so.......as long as i dont kill my car, ill b happy....but ill b way happier if i can push a button from outside...and my doors unlock
