Add Alarm to Central Locking
I want to add an alarm to my 87.5 COUPE GT. Everything is hooked up except the central locking, I found the 3 wires running out the door(G/R, G/BL, R/B)The first 2 should be for closing and opening. I have an alarm which can be hooked up to factory alarm with 2 wires. Their are also 4 other wires which can be hooked up to aftermarket central locking, mine is factory.
When I hook up the 2 wires for factory central lock, I hear the pump running but the locks do not close or open.......
Anything special I have to look out for here?
What is a good location and wiring colour to hook up the alarms(2 wires) for flashing the orange front and back indicator lights??
thanks

Driver's door will need an actuator...
since it doesn't have a vacuum actuated switch like the passenger door does. From the factory you unlocking the driver's door is what triggers the pump that unlocks the passenger door. You can buy actuators to mount in the door and unlock the drivers door which will unlock the passenger door just like turning the key. Any alarm retailer should be able to supply an actuator that will work with the 2 signal wires coming from the alarm.
This is what I have used in two of my 4kq's.

Yup, inside the door such that the driver's door unlocks.
Just like a little leprechaun/monkey is in your car to unlock the doors for you, but instead of pulling up on the lock pull it pushes up from inside the door.<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re16LpR5h0M&feature=related">Forget the alarm</a></li></ul>

What has 5 wires? The actuator or the Audi switch in the drivers door.
If the actuator has 5 wires then I don't know what each are for.
You shouldn't have to tap into any of the factory harness/switches to get a signal, but you might need constant power or ground. The signal to actuate the aftermarket actuator should come from the alarm.
