#6694, "Door Lock Trouble..." Jul-20-03 10:19 AM by BlkTalon96
I just got done installing my alarm. Everything works just fine except for the door locks. I have aftermarket actuators, so they are just 2 wires. Correct me if I am wrong, but both leads should rest at ground, then when one sees 12+ it activates the actuator one way or the other. Well, I hooked up my relays exactly like it said on The12Volt.com: Everytime I try to hook it up, it blows the fuse. The first time it wasn't fused and ended up burning a path inside the alarm which I had to repair. Another strange thing that happens is, when I arm (lock) OR disarm (unlock) the alarm BOTH leads from the alarm give a ground signal. Why would they do this?? Shouldn't only one give the signal so that the actuator knows which way to go?? I know that can't be the problem though because it blows the fuse as soon as it is hooked up, not when you arm the alarm. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated fellas. TIA!!
EDIT* The alarm is a Delta-Pro 5005 if that helps at all.

Ok, figured out the relay thing. The relays had 2 87s, not an 87 and an 87A. But I still don't know why the alarm would be sending ground to both leads during lock and unlock. Can anybody help me??
