door lock wire location

[tnporsche]

Does anyone know the location of the door lock wires under the dash? The best guess I have is a bundle at thte front left corner of the floor board driver side. ( i have not looked on the pass side yet.) I am trying to install a aftermarket door release.

Also does the switch work with sw of the positive or sw of the neg?

The OEM central lock does not work, but if you turn the key the actuators do work. I just want to tie a remote to this.



Any tips or ideas appreciated.

Thanks

ok some more checking,

I can get the doors to lock connecting the brn/grn 12v to the blue wire on the central lock sw. On the central lock sw there is four wires..... brn/grn 12v pos.....yellow 12v pos...... blue..... brn... I don't get anything connecting the other wires. I don't know how the central lock system is supposed to work. (never did on mine)

Ideas?

according to the diagram... brown/green is the switch main power. yellow wire is power to the light in the switch, the brown is ground... "blue" wire in the diagram is actually green/blue and i'm still trying to figure that one out, but it connects with the brown wire through a resister inside the switch, so i could also be another ground. i'll keep staring at this diagram until it makes good sense to me.....

ok.. as far as installing a remote keyless entry, here's what you need to do....

on the Door Lock Module under Steering Column

Door Lock - Brown/Red
Door Unlock - Brown/white

if you put a negative (ground) pulse to those wire it should lock and unlock.

lol.. i've edited this thread so many times... but it's correct now...
i wish i had power locks on mine.....

Ok that was exactly the right wires, and it is the harness at front left of floor mat BTW.

Thanks, now to put the octopus tangle of wire under the dash

Interested in this. Were you guys hooking up an aftermarket keyless entry or were you using the stock system? I'm trying to hook up the stock switch to my keyless system for lock/unlock.

you would use the wires i named above... depending on your aftermarket keyless module is how you would hook it to that... some have a negative output and some have a positive output... other's you can switch between the two... since our cars are negative switch you need to have a negative pulse output. if you aftermarket module only has a positive output you would have to use one of those generic type relays. and.. if that's the case, you can contact me and i'll tell you how to hook up the relay to convert the positive pulse to a negative pulse. actually any help you need, i'll help you to my best ability
