Wiring help for Power Door Locks - Aftermarket remote
 
2 Attachment(s)
I have tried several different times to wire this and no success. I have attached pics of the wiring going to the door and another of the wiring diagram from the remote unit.

If anyone out there would like to help with their opinion it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Mike

I am glad I have all mechanical stuff. I found these two things that might help, if not hopefully one of the techs can jump in here and help you figure the mess out.

ok its the LT BLU and BLK/WHT wires
sorry for the bad image I am sure you can find the top half on the internet to verify the concept
with both switches in the neutral state both ends of the motor are grounded
wire 150 is GND and 60 ORG/BLK is +12

also I am working 1988 truck and trying to find the very connector you are holding where is IT ???

This is a interesting thread as I too have a 88 and been wanting to do this mod to mine.
Do you have a alarm system in your ?

sort of a alarm (dome light type)
but the main reason was to put a emergency unlock button incase the key would not work, door latches not so good shape
but now I am thinking emergency window roll down button under the truck
would be a better option as the power windows work fine

That is a pretty good idea too.
I used to have a 54 Chevy that I put electric door switches in.
You would just lean against the 1/4 panel and the micro switch would open the door. I think I used the early GM starter solenoid to open them but in the gas cap area, I put a key switch inside it. I could turn the power on for the doors by turning it to the On position and if I wanted the drivers door to open, turn the switch to its Start position and it would energize the door too.

I was noticing that the newer trucks all have Modules in them for the windows and door switching. Those are pricey to say the least but mine is just using Switches, which I also replaced (window and door switches with a couple extra for my own private stock).

Another thing that I was thinking of was to add another Hood Pull maybe under the fender. On my 54 Chevy, I had a wire going from the door latch out into the engine compartment. I could always open the hood and pull that wire to open the door too.

FYI for all 1988-95 trucks in order to remove the door handles the service manual states to remove the window regulator and window assembly
but there is a much easier way unbolt the door latch (T30 torx) bolts (3)
and let it drop it, will fall 3/4 inch and now you can remove handle
(found this on YouTube)
and once the handle is out you can spray the latch assembly with WD-40
it did wonders.

also in order to do LH side emergency roll down, the relay has to be inside
the door frame and a extra wire has to be ran out the dust boot from door to cab, then GND the wire (relay coil-) to roll down window

the RH side is a lot easier all wiring can be done from inside the cab
trying to decide what way to go?
