      Comment


        So i just connected my keyless entry and its not working..

        I hear the main unit clicking when i press the key but no unlock/lock


        This is what I used to get through it. Did I mess up ?


        P.S. the highlighted parts on this diagram are all for my reference as to which wires i should ground.


        please help, thanks

          you should ground the green wire as well.

Another common problem is the weather stripping on the door is dry rotted and water gets in to the actuator and corrodes it. New weather stripping is about $12.
            I think this is my problem as I've replaced the actuators twice with used ones.. Do you know the correct name for the lock assembly part that breaks? I'll order one from blunt and see if I can fix my locks once and for all before I install the Keyless entry.
            Thanks

              First off did your locks work before you started?
              Second you have to make sure those wires are making a good contact.

              But otherwise it looks good to me.I dont see the need of grounding the green as bernzspeed said .I didnt do it and works fine for me .
              I also did install mine in the trunk which was much easier

                Really? The green wire too?

                hey your lock and unlock looks different than the
                White--to--Yellow/Blue
                and
                White/black---to---Green/Blue

                what colors did you use?

                one looks
                Green/Purple???
                Whats the other?

                dang... Yes my locks worked, just only from the trunk and passenger side...

                could that be my problem...

                  I referred to the electrical diagram for the specific car I'm installing it in.
                  You should ground the 2 yellows, the green and the black.
                  What year is your car? Is it coupe or 4 dr?

                    I got the keyless entry to work...!!!!!!:drink:

                    .....Thanks to this post.

                    Also FYI the cheap quick connects i was using just wouldn't cut it...
                    I had to use butt connectors..

                    To everyone who does this and wants to mount this in the trunk, here is a small breakdown of the wires (mine is a 1989 so it may differ):

                    [unit wire: body wire]

                    red with fuse: positive side on battery
                    Black wire: negative wire
                    White wire: Green w/black stripe (by trunk actuator)
                    White w/black stripe wire: green w/violet stripe (also by actuator)
                    Yellow wire: ground
                    Yellow wire with black stripe: ground

                    Haven't started the flashers yet but this is something to help get started.


                    !!!!!! UPDATE!!!!!!
                    Thanks Guys, I got that shit down!

                    The damn quick splices did not work for me either!!!


                    You should check the actuator in the trunk to see what your wire color combo is. Also, I did not use the Orange, Orange/Black, Red/Black, Pink, or Green wires.

                    Here's the two tables that I made to help guide me to get it done...
                    I used 8 wires listed on the table from the keyless entry.
                    3 of those 8 wires from the keyless entry are HIGHLIGHTED Yellow, and are all ground to the same place.
                    The other 5 wires actually connect/splice into wires in the car, which is in the center column.
                    Lastly the third column shows what functions those wires do.



                    This is the one that worked in my 91 318is coupe


                    Hope this helps, over thinkers, and noobs like me!

                      Okay the flasher wiring is right behind the headlight switch. you tap into the grey/wht and grey/yellow wires

                        Here are the two wires that run behind the speaker that you need to tap in to. You don't need to remove the speaker but it helps to relieve slack on the lines. Also the yellow taps i've been including are hit or miss. They are too wide. The blue ones are the correct size. I just squeezed them together a little on this install.






                        These were supposed to be the two that you connect from the light switch but mike is color blind. lol




                        My modified units that i do on my installs. Do not copy this as it will void your warranty. lol

                            connected the grounds to eliminate most of the wires?
