Power Lock System Disaster..Please Help
#27
I wouldn't trash it. It's a solid kit, for cheap. I have had that same kit on my truck for 2 years now and it works flawlessly! The batteries haven't even worn down on the keyless remote yet. If you need any help with anything on that kit (I am very familiar with it, as I have re-wired it several times!) just PM me or email me, toofastforyoo2@aol.com.

I would wire it up on a bench w/ a battery like I said. If it works, great. If it's trash, at least you didn't waste hours and hours wiring it into your vehicle for naught. Outside of the truck, it's simply trial and error to figure out what wires do what. Figure each out and label them. Worth a shot since you've already invested in it, before you buy a brand new kit anyways.

I would use connectors (male/female) on the connections inside the doors. Wire nuts aren't really for automotive wiring. Make sure they are the kind w/ covers so they don't touch anything and short out. You can cut the wire to length before you crimp the connectors on so you don't have a wad of extra wire laying inside your doors. You want a little slack, but not feet of extra wire. Use zip-ties to keep the wire out of the window track, etc. I would use a wire tap like these 3M ones to tap into the constant power and parking light wires:
3M Connectors
That way you don't have to compromise the factory wire by cutting them. I'd do the same for the keyless if you have to tap into the power lock wires.
Use ring connector's like these (of the proper size for the wire and bolt you will be grounding to) for your ground connection:
Ring Connectors
Soldering the connections is the absolute best, but connectors, crimped properly, will provide a trouble-free connection as well.
