3rd Party Keyless Entry DIY (Why Not?)

[MaddogsMotorSports]

Hi Guys, I have read this whole thread twice but cant get my door locks to work. I have a 2003 base, I also have the M535 unit. I have the tail lights successfully working when I hit the lock/unlock on the remote but thats it. I found the brown/white wire for sure but there seems to be two brown/red wires? Is the wiring different for the 2003?

thanks in advance,

Dave

The wiring for this is the same across all 986 model years.
There should only be one brown/red wire.
There is a brown/red/black wire (brown wire, red stripe, black bands), so make sure you didn't get them mixed up.

worked on the car again yesterday and got it figured out, the little splice clamps i used didnt pierce the wire insulation the whole way. lock/unlock and trunk all work now. thanks for all the help

Cool. I had/have mine soldered and wired directly together, and while it would lock and unlock, as soon as the alarm armed, it wouldn’t unlock.

So I guess I kinda jumped the gun on my keyless working fine because everything works for like 15 seconds after that it wont unlock or lock the doors?? I can stand there and hit the lock unlock buttons and pop the trunk as long as I do it within 15 seconds, after that I have to use my key in the door. Any ideas?

Where did you get power for the unit?

Particlewave I tapped into the big red power to the seat

I have got an alarm and I only have 3 wires for the doors.
Will this be one neg and two wires for open and close?
Also, I only seam to have one wire for the trunk, is this right?
Thanks.
