Default Alarm Won't Unlock the Locks. clifford 50.5x .. always happens when its winter!!

So you have factory power door locks, not just manual locks?

if you use the power door lock button on the inside of the vehicle, do the door locks unlock then?

Find the brain for the alarm and make sure the harnesses are snug. If you have a DMM, set for 12v DC and put the ground wire from the DMM on the unlock wire coming out of the brain and put the red wire on constant 12v. Press the unlock button on your door panel and see if you register about 12v on the DMM for a split second. If you do, this means your connection to the factory lock wire is ok. Now, press unlock on your remote to see if the alarm is outputting the negative pulse. If it is working correctly, you should also get 12v on the DMM.

Sorry, I have not beeen in. Let me get that brain back and I am going to install a newer unit. The 50.5x is disco and I rather get you something better like the 50.7x which is suppose to be in your car (5 speed friendly). It seems that all the older units are having problems. Its best to text me, pm or leave a vm to get ahold of me. Sometimes I don't see all the threads.
