when i hooked everything up to what i THINK it should be it didnt work. the 2 wires coming off of the lock itself i tapped into becuase im pretty sure it was the lock and unlock? then i just quickly ran a wire to the battery to see if it would work. it kinda moved the lock a bit but not very much at all. what am i doing wrong? i dunno what kind of aftermarket lock i have so i took a pic if it would help at all. I hope cardomain works.

i'll write up a diagram for you tomorrow. you need to have a relay for lock and a relay for unlock. on the actuator....the green is lock and the blue is unlock. so in order to lock the actuator the green needs to see 12v and the blue needs to be grounded, and vice versa. i'll send you a diagram tomorrow though to clarify what i am talking about

Its not how fast your car goes....its how much nerve the driver has to push it that fast.

^^^ Yuppers

The power door lock switches (orange is supply voltage... blue lock... white unlock)... they send power to the power door lock relay... on a stock equipped 3rd gen J, it's on the passenger side below the dash, next to the door pin on the passenger A-pillar. If you just go from switch to the actuator... it won't work as well.
