I am trying to install a keyless entry (a cheaply). I know I need to use 2 relays. I keep finding differing opinions on how to wire them. Does someone have a picture of one that is wired?
Any help would be appreciated

 

Google Images has thousands of pictures of wired relays, but IDK why you think that's going to help you.

Post a link to the system you bought, and to its installation instructions. If relays are required, they & their wiring should have been included. But even if they aren't, the instructions should explain how to wire them.

 

I know of systems that have their own remotes that use a physical solenoid that moves the arm for pulling the lock mechanism, which would require custom bracket/mounting. But you would want each solenoid to have its own relay, yes, so you can put good juice to each one for a solid lock or unlock. And not have to run that large of wire around the car all from a battery to a transmitter, rather that battery send to the solenoid when its needed.

 

I will attach a pic. Let me warn you - this is a Walmart special. The instructions are limited to a crummy copy on a half sheet of paper.
I originally thought I needed to replace the actuator but I ended up only needing to replace the switch. So, I am trying to get by with this system and just not use the actuators. Is that even a possibility?

Instructions

Wires that came with it the system.

 

You are saying you want to wire into factory power locks? I believe its possible from when I helped a friend research it. When you dont count for anti-theft, it makes it easy

 

yes. I just want to be able to unlock the doors without using the key. Not worried about anti-theft.
i have found a lot of info in it
but so many differing opinions on how to wire it
from what understand i need to use 2 30 amp relays. I haven’t been able to find anyone that has given specific instructions on what wire goes from here to there. That’s why I am hoping I can see a picture of one actually completed so that I can follow it as an example.

 

If it was manufactured in this century, there should be a website mentioned somewhere on the instructions or packaging.

Yeah, that diagram is garbage, since it doesn't apply to the Ford power lock circuit (which is polarity-reversing full-current). It would take me a while to either explain, or to create an applicable diagram that shows how to wire that into your truck. And it's unlikely you'd understand it well enough to build it, so I'm not inclined to put that effort into it.

Your best move is to return that for refund, and either: 1) buy something built better, 2) let a pro shop handle the whole job, or 3) just deal with the non-remote locks.

If you're determined to use the one you've got, read this & the NEXT few captions:

It would probably work without adding relays, but relays might let the controller survive a little longer.

 

Steve83....It came in a white box - nothing written on the box - no website. No other instructions other than the half sheet I posted.
I actually considered all three of your suggestions prior to purchasing this system.
Thanks for your help.
