Recently purchased a 4dr 96 Civic LX that has PW & PDL, the door locks dont work. I know the factory radio controls the KEYLESS entry, but I dont need fac. keyless, I want the locks to work.

So, after probing w/ meter and getting nowhere, a guy at a local stereo shop said that an aftermarket alarm would control the locks! I installed a DEI alarm which works perfect except the door locks, Nothing! Did more probing and I figured the actuators may be blown somehow? Replaced them.... Nothing! OK Im pissed! I then conclude that it must be the door lock control relay in the door right?....Nope! did that and nothing! DAMMIT

Maybe I still need the radio? Do I have any other options? this guy says that he can hook up some relays in it (w/out buying the radio) for $80 plus $20 for relays, but I know a little bit about relays. does anyone know how it is wired I can do it myself!

 

hate to ask, bu did you check the fuse...?

 

yep! i checked both fuse boxes (hood & dash) and they're OK!
