    Default Simple door lock problem

    Hello everybody,

    I think I already have the answer but need to be sure.
    Two wires from the doorlock switch connectors came loose (one on each side) so I orders new connectors and today I replaced and soldered everything together. Simple by connecting the right color to the right color.

    Now the problem. When arming my alarm I noticed it didn't lock the doors. When disarming the alarm the doors lock! So are previously the alarm worked perfectly now the doorlocks are working the other way around.

    When looking in my wiring diagram I see the doorlocks have two wires and are grounded thought the doors. Do I reverse the problem by switching the tan and grey wires at the doorlock switch connectors?

    Greetings Peter

    Solved the problem. Switched the grey and the tan wires on the connectors and now the doors are closed when the alarm is on.

    I didn't tell you how close I was. It's that I'm running two wires on both sides for the wideband sensor, that why my windows can't fully close...
