FactoryDoorLock
Vehicle door lock circuits are factory designed as positive pulse, negative pulse or reversal rest @
groundcircuits. Determine whichtypeofdoorlockcircuitisusedinyourvehicle.
Positive Pulse System: The switch has 3 wires. The input terminal, usually the center terminal, is +12v.
When the switch knob is pressed (momentarily On) one of the other terminals is also +12v. This means that
the switch is sending a +12v (positive pulse) signal to lock or unlock the door. There is a special relay in this
circuit which handles the ‘reversal rest @ ground’ circuit required for most motor operations. Most GM
vehicles use a Positive Pulse circuit for door locks. Check the number of wires on the switch and check the
inputwiretotheswitch. Itshouldbea+12vsignal. Seediagrampg13.
Negative Pulse System: The switch has 3 wires. The input terminal, usually the center terminal, is ground.
Whentheswitchknobis pressed(momentarilyOn)oneof theotherterminalsisalso ground. Thismeansthat
the switch is sending a ground (negative pulse) signal to lock or unlock the door. There is a special relay in
this circuit which handles the ‘reversal rest @ ground’ circuit required for most motor operations. Most
foreign cars use a Negative Pulse circuit for the door locks. Check the number of wires on the switch and
checktheinputwiretotheswitch. Itshouldbeagroundsignal. Seediagrampg13.
ReversalRest@GroundSystem: This switch usually has 5 wires (sometimes 4 wires). All of the wires and
terminalsrest@‘ground’whentheswitchisnotactivated. One terminalbecomes+12v(positive)onlywhen
the switch is activated. The switch sends a positive signal through the system and turns on the motor. The
ground signal from the motor passes through the other side of the switch and goes to a chassis ground. There
isnospecialrelayinthis circuitbecausethe switchesarehard-wiredtohandlethehighcurrentofthe‘reversal
rest @ ground’circuit required for most motor operations. Most Ford vehicles and most Chrysler vehicles
useaReversal Rest @ Groundcircuitfordoor locks. Check the numberofwires on the switch. Ifthereare 4
or5wires,[e-mail]13
To determine which type is used in your vehicle, take a voltmeter and probe one of the output wires at the
switch. Check the polarity with the switch pressed and without the switch pressed. Compare results with
the chart below.

1) Locate the Door Latch Linkage Rod
2) Select mounting location for actuator. *Note: Actuator Rod MUST move in a linear
(straight) direction, or parallel to the linkage rod.
3) Install the actuator rod into the plastic clip on actuator. (Diagram 8d) The bent end of the rod
is pressed into the plastic clip. To decrease the distance of the pull, the plastic clip can be moved
to the second hole.
4) Bend the rod to make the adjustment required to achieve a straight or linear pull of the
actuator. This is a critical adjustment to prevent binding and eventual failure of the actuator.
5) Install the Rod Keeper Bracket on the rod. (Diagram 8a) Adjust location of rod keeper
bracket to correct position for mounting door latch linkage rod. Tighten both allen screws.
Note: Some vehicle door latches are more difficult to open than others. This is due to different
manufacturing tolerances, age and wear on vehicle. To enhance the pulling power of the actuator,
youcanaddsprings,whichcanbepurchasedatalocalhardwarestore. Thespringmusthaveenough
force to assist the actuator when pulling the latch open, but not be so strong as to keep the latch from

3) Install Door Open Circuit - Maximum output is 300mA
NOTE: Both button ‘A’and ‘B’can be wired so that either one will open the door.
A) Connect the red power wire directly to the battery. See diagram 11b (18” red wire not supplied)
B) Connect the other end of the power wire to the terminal marked
battery on the circuit breaker.
C) Connect the other terminal of the circuit breaker to the input terminal
S2 (silver) of the toggle switch. See diagram 11a
D) Connect the orange wire to terminal S1 (brass) on the toggle switch.
E) Connect the other end of the orange wire to terminal #87 on the relay.
Mount the relay near the receiver.
F) Connect the pink wire to relay terminal #86.
G) The other end of the pink wire is connected to the receiver channel ‘B’output. (Channel ‘A’,
violet wire, may also be used to open door.)
H) Connect relay terminal #30, green wire, to the green wire on the actuator for pull. (Reverse wires
to change actuator to push)
I) Connect chassis ground for actuator motor using technique on page 10.
J) Connect ground required to illuminate status bulb in switch to relay terminal #85 on relay. Run
this ground through the proximity switch to disable motor when system is not active, switch is
Off or vehicle is in gear.
4) Test mechanical and high current part of installation
A) Turn power switch On.
B) Unplug the connector from the receiver. Take a long wire (which has been stripped on both ends) and
connect one end to the battery +12vdc, and touch the other end of wire to relay terminal #86.
The relay should energize and the coil inside the relay should click. The output on terminal #30 is
+12vdc and will activate the actuator. *Ensure the pull of the actuator is straight. If it is not
straight, the actuator may bind and fail.
C) Connect the door latch. Using the long wire that is still attached to the battery +12vdc, touch the other
end of wire to relay terminal #86.
The relay should energize and the coil inside the relay should click. The output on terminal #30 is
+12vdc and will activate the actuator allowing the door latch to be pulled open. If the door does
not open, check the length of the actuator pull travel. If the required travel length is more than
3/4”, change the installation design to allow a lever or spring to assist. Actuators lose pulling force
if the pull is over extended or more than 3/4”.
WARNING!
If the receiver output wires are installed to the wrong polarity, the output will be damaged. For example:
if the channel 2 pink (+12) output wire is connected to a ground, a ‘dead short’will occur when the button
is pressed. The output will test ‘dead’ and the trace may be burned or test ‘high (On)’at all times.
Wiring Inspection
A) Check all wiring connections visually
B) Check the polarity of all wires
C) Tape off or remove all unused wires.

Installation: Safety Disable Switch
WARNING! If using any type of motor, such as a window motor or a door lock motor - add a Disable switch
to prevent the door or window circuit from operating when vehicle is in motion.
A disable switch should be installed in any application to deny operation of the motor when a vehicle
is in motion. However, due to changes in automotive electrical design and the addition of computer controlled
circuits, it is no longer advisable or safe to tap into or cut wires to disable automotive factory circuits. To
overcome this problem, you must install an electro-mechanical switch which will determine gear position, thus
safely disabling the circuit while the vehicle is in motion. Below are three options for installing a Safety
Disable Switch.
Safety Disable Feature
Older models of Caprice and the Crown Victoria cars still have a Park/Neutral switch or output located near
the steering column of the vehicle. However, many of the newer cars do not have an available output to sense
the gear of the vehicle. The outputs that can sense the gear of the vehicle are logic level and directly
connected to the computer, (ECM, Electronic Control Module). If any wires or switches are attached to the
ECM harness or computer outputs, the vehicle warranty may not be honored.
