Add remote door lock?
#11
Here is the whole hatch, opened. There are three wire sets. the key/switch, the actuator (with just two wires) and the window latch.
From the switch, I believe Orange (12v) is power, Lt.Blue (0v) is Lock, White (0v) is Unlock and white-black (50v?) is ground. The Lock/unlock wires runs to a relay and from there to all the actuators but not sure how that works to lock and unlock the latch. The latch has extra wires coming from the latch button on the dash.
So I think I will try to attach the remote module to the switch wires instead of the actuator - Help in this endeavor will be appreciated! For example, when I want to wire the module to the white unlock wire, do I cut the wire and run both ends into the module or do I just splice a module wire into the white one?
