I am in need of some dire help guys. I am attempting to install a Clifford 50.7x alarm in my truck, and have run into a snag. I have everything working, parking lights flash, remote start works, turbo timer works, everything but the door locks. The door lock circuit on the alarm is designed for cars that already have a relay in the system, which isn't the case with our old trucks. I went out and got two 30A relays for the lock, and unlock circuits, and wired them up according to the alarm and FSM wiring diagrams. My problem is that the door locks seem to be drawing a metric sheet ton of current. They blow 30A fuses no problem when you try to activate them with the alarm, and if you go straight to the battery, they won't lock or unlock. They click and move a hair, but will not pop up or down all the way, and they draw enough current to dim the dome lamp. Has anybody run into this before? I assure you my wiring is up to the task, the relays are all run with 10ga wire, which is larger than the factory wiring, and all connections are soldered.

 

I just found out that the circut is -/+ switching on both the unlock and lock circuts. How do I wire that up? I am completely stumped here.

 

it sounds like you will need 4 relays and some 1 way diodes but not shure of the wireing but you will have to apply power with 1 relay and ground with the other so 2 relays for 1 door lock both with diodes so it will not back feed WOW my head allready hurts on this

 

ya mine too. I may just take it somewhere and pay to have the door locks done.

 

i have a guy i work with that is awsome with stuff like this if you would like i can ask him and get back to you but i will not see him till tuesday

 

let me get u the diagram. i just did this. you will only need to relays

may take me a few. but ill get it to you

 

I just uploaded the pictures. As soon as theyre approved ill like them to this thread. Theyre not the best since i had to take a picture of a piece of paper since I dont have a scanner but they will work.

 

That would be awesome! Thanks!

 

Any luck with those pics?

 

hey. sorry this took so long. i uploaded them the same day but havent been back on since.
