G21994_04-06.qxd 12/11/06 3:36 PM Page 9 ➜ step 1 Ground Wire The BLACK (H1/10) wire on the main 14-pin harness is ground. This wire should be connected to a clean, paint-free area of metal in the drivers kick panel area. Using a self-tapping screw, drill the screw with the ring terminal to the metal area. Once screwed down, pull on the wire to ensure a good connection. note: More problems are attributed to poor ground connections than any other cause.
G21994_04-06.qxd 12/11/06 3:36 PM Page 10 check for any additional screws you may have missed. Once the lower dash panel has been removed, locate the ignition harness at the back of the key cylinder. This is usually a group of thicker wires. With the ignition harness exposed, use your LED tester to find your power and ignition wires.

With the black lead still in the kick panel, locate the ignition wire harness in the same location. It will test differently than constant (+)12 volts. Locate the suspected wire using the www.readyremote.com web site and then use the LED tester to probe the suspected wire. With the key in the off position the LED tester will not illuminate.

While testing the suspected wire, run the dash dimmer light control up and down — the voltage should NOT vary (LED tester illumination). If the voltage does vary, continue probing to find the correct wire. Once you have identified the correct wire, solder the WHITE (H1/9) wire on the 14-pin harness to it and wrap the connection with electrical tape.

When attempting to interface the power door locks with your system it is important to understand that there are multiple types of door locking systems in today's vehicles. To determine your vehicle’s power door lock system, check the web information on your vehicle. If your door lock system is a different type than described in this guide, go to www.
G21994_04-06.qxd 12/11/06 3:36 PM Page 14 the switch wires to be used, you can usually simplify the installation by locating the same wires in the vehicle’s kick panel. If no central locking switch is found, the installation may require a door lock actuator. note: Always retest the wires in the kick panel to be sure they function the same way as the wires on the switch.
G21994_04-06.qxd 12/11/06 3:36 PM Page 15 ing the doors from the driver's or passenger side using the key activates all the actuators in the vehicle. This requires a slight modification to the door lock harness. Mercedes-Benz and Audi 1985 and newer. ■ Type F: One-wire system - cut to lock, ground to unlock. This system is found in late-model Nissan Sentras, some Nissan 240SX, and Nissan 300ZX 1992 and later. It is also found in older Mitsubishis, and some early Mazda MPV’s.
G21994_04-06.qxd 12/11/06 3:36 PM Page 16 type A: positive-triggered, relay-driven system The system can control Type A door locks directly, with no additional parts. The switch will have three wires on it, and one will test (+)12V constantly. The others will alternately pulse (+)12V when the switch is pressed to the lock or unlock position.

G21994_04-06.qxd 12/11/06 3:36 PM Page 18 type B: negative-triggered, relay-driven system This system is common in many Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and Saturn models, as well as Fords with the keyless-entry system (some other Fords also use Type B). The switch will have three wires on it, and one wire will test ground all the time. One wire will pulse (-) when the switch locks the doors, and the other wire will pulse (-) when the switch unlocks the doors.

G21994_04-06.qxd 12/11/06 3:36 PM Page 20 It is critical to identify the proper wires and locate the master switch to interface properly. Locate wires that show voltage when the switch is moved to the lock or unlock position. Cut one of the suspect wires and check operation of the locks from both switches. If one switch loses all operation in both directions then you have cut one of the correct wires and the switch that is entirely dead is the master switch.
G21994_04-06.qxd 12/11/06 3:36 PM Page 21 *note: Except in GM cars with retained accessory power (RAP). In these vehicles, the (+)12V feed to the door lock switches is turned off if the doors are closed for any length of time. note: Most direct-wired power lock systems require 20-30 amps of current to operate. Connecting the violet/black wire to a poor source of voltage will keep the door locks from operating properly.
G21994_04-06.qxd 12/11/06 3:36 PM Page 22 type D: adding one or more after-market actuators Vehicles without factory power door locks require the installation of one actuator per door. This requires mounting the door lock actuator inside the door. Other vehicles may only require one actuator installed in the driver's door if all door locks are operated when the driver's lock is used.
G21994_04-06.qxd 12/11/06 3:36 PM Page 23 type E: electrically-activated vacuum This system is found in Mercedes-Benz and Audi 1985 and newer. The door locks are controlled by an electrically activated vacuum pump. The control wire will show (+)12V when doors are unlocked and (-) ground when locked. note: The system must be programmed for 3.5-second door lock pulses, and the violet jumper between the #87 lock terminal and the #87 unlock terminal must be cut. Contact READY REMOTE technical support.
G21994_04-06.qxd 12/11/06 3:36 PM Page 24 type F: one-wire system (cut to lock, ground to unlock) This type of door lock system usually requires a negative pulse to unlock, and cutting the wire to lock the door. (With some vehicles, these are reversed.) It is found in the late-model Nissan Sentras, some Nissan 240SX, Nissan 300ZX 1992 and later. It is also found in some Mazda MPVs. note: The violet jumper between the #87 lock terminal and the #87 unlock terminal must be cut.
G21994_04-06.qxd 12/11/06 3:36 PM Page 25 type G: positive (+) multiplex This system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors. SINGLE-RESISTOR TYPE: If one resistor is used in the door lock switch/key cylinder, the wire will pulse (+)12V in one direction and less than (+)12V when operated in the opposite direction.
G21994_04-06.qxd 12/11/06 3:36 PM Page 26 1. Cut the output wire from the door lock switch/key cylinder. 2. Test with the meter from the switch side of the cut door lock switch/key cylinder wire to a reliable constant (+)12V source. Some good constant (+)12V references are the power input source to the door lock switch/key cylinder, the ignition switch power wire, or the (+) terminal of the battery. 3. Operate the door lock switch/key cylinder in both directions to determine the resistor values.
G21994_04-06.qxd 12/11/06 3:36 PM Page 27 type H: negative (-) multiplex The system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors. SINGLE-RESISTOR TYPE: If one resistor is used in the door lock switch/key cylinder, the wire will pulse ground in one direction and resistance to ground when operated in the opposite direction.
G21994_04-06.qxd 12/11/06 3:36 PM Page 28 ground references are the ground input source to the door lock switch/key cylinder or the battery ground. 3. Operate the door lock switch/key cylinder in both directions to determine the resistor values. If the multimeter displays zero resistance in one direction, no resistor is needed for that direction. 4. Once the resistor value(s) is determined, refer to the wiring diagram for proper wiring.
