Was your truck originally equipped with remote keyless entry from the factory or not?
The interface with an aftermarket RKE is completely different between the factory RKE system and the basic PDL system.
If factory RKE, all you need is a negative pulse on the lock or unlock inputs of the VSM. If basic PDL, then you need the relay arrangement that will directly control the actuator motors.

The circuit/relay wiring OP shows is one I've used more than a few times as a secondary or remote trigger for factory PDL's.

Glad that was all it was----paying close attention to small details like this sometimes trips us up----I run into it myself more than I like admitting.
