Fitting/Installation Guide - UNIVERSAL

Please test, with which type of central locking system your vehicle/car is equipped:
1. Positive or negative triggered central locking system.
2. Electro-pneumatic central locking system.
3. One side operated central locking system.
In case your central locking system can NOT be opened and closed from the passenger door, you need to install
an additional control device (motor/actuator) into the drivers door.
Checking your locking system
Please use a diode test lamp (voltmeter) for checking electric currents. Conventional test lamps conduct too
high voltage and can therefore cause damages to electronic control devices. Please take care NOT to connect the
remote control with the motor wire of your central locking system (the one that goes to the motor?); shortcircuit danger!
Before installing the door panels again, check the following:
1. Make sure your vehicle key is not inside the car.
2. Attach the battery again.
3. Close the vehicle doors.
4. Check the functionality of the central locking system by closing and re-opening the doors with your car key.
Lock the vehicle again.
Current supply
Red cable at constant (+12v)

connect to permanent +12v (Vehicle fused +12v contstant)

Black cable at ground (-)

attach to battery minus (-) to the vehicle (chassis ground)

CONSTANT POWER (+12V, key in any position including off)

These wire(s) are in your vehicles main ignition harness, usually located on the steering column coming from the
ignition switch. Probe each wire with your test light. The correct wire will show +12V when the ignition switch is in
these 4 positions (LOCK-ON-OFF-CRANK). Attach the RED power wire from the main unit harness to this wire.
CHASSIS GROUND
Locate an easy to get to bolt or screw located under the drivers side of the dash and attach the BLACK ground
wire from the main unit harness securely as pictured.

Turning signal control - Indicators Lights

1- Find/Determine both wires that carry +12 volt when having the turning light switched on.
2- Connect one of the brown wire (from the main unit) with the right side turning light, the other brown wire with
the left side turning light.
Note:
Most vehicles manufactured in Germany have cable colours as follows:
black/white - turning signal left side
black/green - turning signal right side

To positive/negative trigger (Trunk-Boot Release): Boot Release Wire: Trunk Release Output
Some cars have an electric boot release or one can be added. This can be interfaced with our alarms systems or
Remote Keyless that have separate channels to control a boot release. For cars with a built in boot release the wire
is found at the keyless entry module under the dash or behind a kick panel.
To nd the boot release trigger wire with your multi-meter:
1. Set to DC voltage.
2. Attach the (-) probe to Chassis Ground.
3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the boot release trigger wire with the (+) lead.
4. The meter should indicate 12V with the boot release button depressed if you have found the correct wire.
5. The meter will then read 0V when the boot release button is at rest.
NOTE! Never connect an alarms boot release trigger output directly to the boot release wire. The boot release trigger outputs from almost all alarm systems are low-current outputs. Connecting directly to the boot release wire
without a relay could cause the unit to fail.

LOCATING AND DETERMINING YOUR DOOR LOCK TYPE

In most cases, the factory door lock wires will be smaller gauge and located in the drivers kick panel or under the
drivers dash.
NOTE: To help determine your door lock type, refer to the Door Lock Types by Manufacturer chart (See below) or
In most cases we provide you with the Central lock wiring colours diagram for your car (Normally a separat sheet is
enclosed). If the year of your vehicle is listed as having two or more types of door lock systems, you must test for
all of those types.
TESTING DOOR LOCK TYPE:- There are 3 basic system types:
Type 2 Negative Door Lock Test (Most Imports, some newer Fords)
Probe both door lock wires going to the door lock switch these wires are usually located in the drivers kick panel.
Attach one end of your test light to +12V using the vehicles door lock controls activate the lock then the unlock testing both wires one at a time. If the test light illuminates when you probe the lock and the unlock wires your vehicle
has a Type 2 door locking system. Make sure to mark which wire is lock and unlock.
Type 3 Positive Door Lock Test (Most GMs and most Chryslers)
Probe both of your door lock wires going to the door lock switch these wires are usually located in the drivers kick
panel, attach one end of your test light to a good chassis ground. Using the vehicles door lock controls, activate the
lock then the unlock testing both wires one at a time. If the test light illuminates when you probe the lock and the
unlock wires your vehicle has a Type 3 door locking system. Make sure to mark which wire is lock and unlock.
Type 4 Positive Door Lock Test (Most Fords, some Chryslers, GM Trucks)
Using your test light probe both the lock and the unlock wires usually located in the drivers kick panel. Attach one
end of your test light to ground probing both wires one at a time while locking and unlocking the doors with the
drivers side switch (usually the master switch). The test light should illuminate in both switch positions. Now attach
one end of your test light to +12V constant, probe both wires one at a time again. The light should then illuminate
again only in reverse order. This tells you that you have a Type 4 reversing polarity system. Make sure to mark
which wire is lock and unlock.
Other Types:
Type 1 pneumatic

Type 8 Motors One side operated

Type 6 One wire

Type 7 Japaneses Driven

Door Lock Harness (Keyless OR Alamrs) wire connection guide

The system has door lock relays on-board, and can directly interface with most electric power door lock systems
drawing 30 amps or less. It can also drive aftermarket actuators directly. (Some vehicles require that an aftermarket
actuator be added to the drivers door to allow system control, see Type D wiring section).

IMPORTANT! Depending on the type of door lock system, there may be additional wires in the Door Lock Harness that are not required used in wiring the door locks.
Power door lock wires
The system has door lock relays on-board, and can directly interface with most electric power door lock systems
drawing 20 amps or less.

Identifying the door lock system

The easiest way to determine which type of door lock system you are working with is to remove the master locking
switch itself, which is usually on the drivers door or on the center console. Once you have determined which type
of factory door lock circuit you are working with, and the color codes of the switch wires to be used, you can usually
simplify the installation by locating the same wires in the vehicles 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.
There are eight common types of door lock circuits (some vehicles use more unusual systems):
Type A: (TYPE 3) Three-wire (+) pulse controlling factory lock relays. Most GM, some Ford and Chrysler, 1995
Saturn, some new VW, newer BMW.
Type B: (TYPE 2) Three-wire (-) pulse controlling factory lock relays. Most Asian vehicles, early Saturn, some BMW
and Porsche.
Type C: (TYPE 4) Direct-wired reversing-polarity switches. The switches are wired directly to the motors. This type
of system has no factory relays. Most Fords, many GM two-doors cars and trucks, many Chryslers.
Type D: (TYPE 8) Adding one or more aftermarket actuators. These include slave systems without an actuator in
the drivers door, but with factory actuators in all the other doors. Type D also includes cars without power locks,
which will have actuators added. All Saabs before 1994, all Volvo except 850i, all Subaru, most Isuzu, and many
Mazdas. Some mid-eighties Nissans, pre-1985 Mercedes-Benz and Audi.
Type E: (TYPE 1) Electrically-activated vacuum systems. The vehicle must have a vacuum actuator in each door.
Make sure that locking the doors from the drivers or passenger side using the key activates all the actuators in the
vehicle. This requires a slight modication to the door lock harness. Mercedes-Benz and Audi 1985 and newer.
Type F: (TYPE 7) 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 MPVs.
Type G: (TYPE 6P) 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.
Type H: (TYPE 6N) 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.

At the switch
Three-wire switches will have either a constant ground input or a constant (+)12V input, along with the pulsed lock
and unlock outputs to the factory relays.
Many BMWs and VWs have no external switch. The switches are inside the actuator, and instead of pulsing, the
proper wires will ip-op from (+)12V to (-) ground as the door locks are operated.
Direct-wired switches will have a (+)12V constant input and one or two (-) ground inputs, along with two output
leads going directly to the lock motors.

TYPE 2 (Type B): Negative Triggerred, Relay-Driven System

Negative Central Locking : Two wires resting open circuit, one pulses ground for lock, one pulses ground for unlock
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. This type of system is
difcult to mistake for any other type.

TYPE 8 (Type D): Adding Actuator

Single Point Central Locking : Vehicles where there isnt a motor in the drivers door (central locking only operates from the drivers door). An
additional door motor is required.
Adding one or more aftermarket actuators. These include slave systems without an actuator in the drivers door,
but with factory actuators in all the other doors. Type D also includes cars without power locks, which will have
actuators added. All Saabs before 1994, all Volvo except 850i, all Subaru, most Isuzu, and many Mazdas. Some
mid-eighties Nissans, pre-1985 Mercedes- Benz and Audi.
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 drivers door if
all door locks are operated when the drivers lock is used.

Vacuum Central Locking: Polarity reverses on a single wire to lock and unlock. (set door lock/unlock time to 3.5sec.)
The vehicle must have a vacuum actuator in each door. Make sure that locking the doors from the drivers or passenger side using the key activates all the actuators in the vehicle. This requires a slight modication to the door
lock harness.
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, (please, set the jumper correctly) must

TYPE 7 (Type F): one-wire system (cut to lock, ground to unlock)

Single Wire Central Locking: Japanese driven: Single line in series negative trigger.
Single wire that pulses negative to unlock, and open circuit to lock.
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 older Mitsubishis, and some early Mazda MPVs.

TYPE 6P (Type G): Positive (+) Multiplex

Single Wire Positive Central Locking: Single wire, positive lock, positive unlock.

Two-potential (i.e. resisted*) positive trigger.

* resistor/s may not be reuired! please, see information below...

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 (+)12V
in one direction and less than (+)12V when operated in the opposite direction.
TWO-RESISTOR TYPE: If two resistors are used in the factory door lock switch/key cylinder, the switch/key cylinder will read less than (+)12V in both directions.
DETERMINING THE PROPER RESISTOR VALUES: To determine the resistor values, the door lock switch/key
cylinder must be isolated from the factory door lock system. For testing, use a calibrated digital multimeter that is
set to ohms.
IMPORTANT: To ensure an accurate resistance reading, do not touch the resistor or leads during testing.
1. Cut the output wire from the door lock switch/key cylinder in half.
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. 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.
