According to my Haynes manual, each lock switch has a black wire from the unlock position to the door lock relay assembly.

Re: Wiring power locks ????

Today is raining all day but if it clears up tomorrow I will. I know it is hard to see because it is between the outside body panel and the inside body panel. Here is a picture of the wiring diagram so maybe that is all you need. I tried to scan it but it was pretty much unreadable. Let me know if you still need me to take a picture tomorrow.
