I need to know where the 2 relays are for the power locks on my 90 bronco. I am trying to install a remote starter with keyless entry. But because of the locks being a 5 wire type c locks, I need to wire directly to the relays but kinda hard to do when you can't find them. I am hoping to finish this tomorrow morning.
There are no relays. The solenoids/actuators are in the doors. The power feed comes directly from the fuse block. I memory serves, they are electrically protected by an auto-reset circuit breaker in the block.
Ok, so how do I wire in the keyless entry. There are 2 wires that come from it for the door locks. One is for unlock and one is for lock. It sends a + charge when you press the corresponding button. I tried to wire it in the switch in the drivers side door. Found the 2 wires for the locks using a probe light and when I hooked them up to the keyless entry and pressed the button, nothing happens. When I probed the wires when I hit the lock/unlock button there is no + charge. When I unhooked them and tested them with the probe, I get the + charge. What gives??????? What wire do I need to hook them up to? Would it make a difference if I hooked them up to the passenger side? The wiring diagram I have from the keyless entry website says the wires will be in the passenger kick panel, it also says that it has 2 relays also. 1 for lock and 1 for unlock. I was using the driver side to save wire length.
Ok, I feel like a total idiot. I FINALLY figured out this stupid thing. The diagram that is in the installation manual that I thought was a diagram of the truck and how and where to cut wires, is actually a diagram of what I needed to add and to do. I needed to add 2 relays and wire it according to the diagram. Needless to say it was pretty easy when I got it all figured out and it works great!!!!! I love it. Never had a remote start before or keyless entry on my bronco.
