ok i must be retarded cuz that didn't work....... maybe the relays are bad. all it did was smoke as soon as i hooked the power wire up. 87a and 87 are ground when u hook 87a up to a ground. please help.

87a and 30 are closed when the relay is at rest, not sure how 87a and 87 can both be at gound. Look closely at the diagram, its correct, make sure your lock/unlock (-) inputs are correct. Hook up the relays w/o the lock/unlock inputs first to see what happens. You should also install a fuse on the (+) feed, cant stress how important that is......

Are you sure that the relays you have are SPDT and not SPST, they look exactly the same, except there is no 87a on a SPST relay, both pins are 87.
