Default Electrical Help!!

Ok,

I converted my truck over to Power Windows/Locks/mirrors. No more laying over the seat to unlock or roll down the passenger side.

I used OE Door panels and window regulors and OE Mirrors, but aftermarket Lock actuators.

The Power Windows and Mirrors are working.

But the locks are my Issue... The OE lock switches only have grounds in them..... Can somebody tell me what relays I need to make these locks work??

See the attached wiring Diagram... I have the switches but don’t have the body Security module....

Please let me know your ideas

Thanks

Im going to favorites this thread, i want to possibly put an automatic lock on my tailgate, so these drawings can help me out big time. And also, i could probably use these for things other than just locks.

Great info here, keep it comin

Hey, did you have to get 2 more relays to make the passenger door work? What about the drivers side locking the passengers and vice versa? Thanks.
