160xv and power door lock problem
I have tried wiring up my door locks about 20 different ways and still can't get it to work.. :evil:
Reading other forums like 12Volt, Ford Truck Enthusiast, etc... It looks that I have a five wire negative polarity lock system. My 160XV came with a 451M and I have tried it both ways that 12Volt recommends (For five wire and reverse polarity)both on the switch side (Pink/Green and Pink/Yellow) and on the motor side (Pink/Black and Pink/Orange). I read somewhere else that if I cut either of the lock/unlock wires and try the buttons, if it is a five wire system then I should lose both driver side and passenger side functions. I didn't, I only lost one side and one function on the other side. That same forum then said that it is not since my switch tested that way then I don't have a reverse polarity system but most likely a positive or negative trigger system. On the many forums that I looked I have seen different ways to wire relays (most say to just get a 451M to make it easier) but I just can't get it to work. On the 451M the relay triggers for both lock and unlock, that should signify that the relay triggers and voltage are correct. So it should just be a matter of where I wire the other leads coming out of the 451M. Other forums have stated that the 160XV can be used for negative pulse and positive pulse but I can't find anything in the manual to specify.
If anyone has any experience with this thing please let me know. It was a Christmas gift from the wife and all other functions work except the door locks. Maybe something in the programming? It arms and disarms with a press of the lock/unlock button on the FOB.
