You currently have a CRX.. that didn't come from the factory with power locks..

You bought a budget alarm brain.. and want to wire it up?

And you can't read the wiring diagram that came or did not come with it?

And you got everything down but the lock/unlock..


The power of google brought me here: http://www.carvox.net/en/downloads.htm

2 Relays, reverse polarity: http://www.the12volt.com/doorlocks/page3.asp#arp

You have to run new 18ga wiring to the doors, either through the stock grommet, or drill a new hole and install a new grommet.. these 18ga wires will go to the relays...

where you put the relays, doesn't matter.. as long as they get power, ground, and the un/lock signal from the alarm brain.. it should be all good...

since the site is having a problem letting me dl the manual.. can't see the diagram atm... but sounds like you only have the alarm's un/lock leads, so just hook those up to the two relays as shown in the12volt's diagram

------------------------------------------------------------
I recommend that you put the two relays next to the brain, so that you don't have too many extra wires going around your car...

I also recommend that you wrap the added door lock wires in slit loom, and make it look like stock wiring, keeps it clean...and helps hide your alarm wiring..

for more info just read suspendedhatch's cause for alarm - http://causeforalarm.thecarthi....html

Also If you want to reuse the stock grommets, all you have todo is pop the out first, if the tube is too small.. just replace it with slit loom, and tightly wrapped electrical tape.

that way when you open the door.. and look at the jam - it looks basically like stock wiring.

You do not need the 12volt.com wiring guide or the relays, door lock relays are built into the CX-999, use door lock diagram 1, [adding door lock actuators]

Connect the brown/black and white/black to 12V+ constant, [hot at all times]
Connect the violet and violet/black to ground, [chassis]
Connect the blue/black and the green/black to the actuator leads, [which of the two leads on the actuator you connect the blue/black and green/black to will depend on how you mount the actuator in the door, there is no wrong way, as long as it is to the same color wire on both actuators, if the doors lock when they are supposed to unlock and unlock when they are supposed to lock, just reverse the blue/black and green/black.

Did you not get a manual... http://www.carvox.net/downloads/HH6400e.pdf page 6. 94

That is correct, you do not need "off-board" relays as the unit has the relays built in, that's why there are 6 wires, [2 w/fuses] on the door lock harness.
As I mentioned, if they are working backwards just reverse the actuator connections. 94

Where did you connect the purple/white "tach" lead to?

The stock alarm can only be disarmed with the stock remote, I would pull the fuse for the stock alarm. 94

Purple/white connected now to RPM (blue wier) speedometer connektion.
Now starter runs ok. Only when engine is cold then it runs less (engine isn't starting)?!
Other problem is that when I start engine from remote and want to go to the car then engine shuts off if I open the door? It should shut off if ignition key isn't on and press brake pedal?!

I got it working also with original alarm. They are working same time and when I start engine remotly then it shuts off original alarm.
