Universal Remote Central Locking

[a18nkd]

Hi all i recently bought a universal locking kit off e-bay and was stumped at the diagrams with it i think my reconing my galaxy would be drawing 'B' (the first pic) am i right in thinking if i connect the open signal and closed signal to the drivers door solinoid would this in turn lock/unlock the whole car

Also the brown wire (on second pic) where would i connect this wire as it look to me like a ground wire ( - ) but it says direction light is this for the indicators or just a ground( - )

I have taken this step as i need the remote for when the mother in law SLOWLY gets out the car i don't have to wait at the door to lock it i have try'd reprogramming the key and nothing happens so i bought this any help would be very helpful pics of the wires i need to connect to would be even better but any help would be helpful thanks in advance. Has anyone done this before?

I had a 1997 and it had remote locking, does this have remote locking fitted originally? if so i found the key fods do die eventually fail, and hence apparent reprogramming dosnt work. can you borrow a key from someone to test?

hi i don't know any one with another galaxy and mine is a 1998 i replaced the batterys (both) in the fob we also only got one key with the car so cant try with another but if i get chance i will give it a try and any ideas on the fitting of the keyless kit if that don't work had the haynes out but its got my head battered

From the haynes the door locking unit has 6 wires coming out of the r/h front door lock unit

3. brown (earth) 0.5

1. yellow/blue 0.5

2. yellow 0.5

 

4. red/white 1

6. green/blue 0.5

5. green/yellow 0.5

is this the drivers side or passenger side ??????

 

l/h front lock unit is as

3. brown (earth) 0.5

1. white 0.5

2. black/yellow 0.5

 

4. (no wire)

6. brown/white 0.5

5. black/green 0.5

i am still having problems if any one wants to help try'd the yellow wire for open and the yellow/black wire for close i'm getting a small motor like noise from the doors but nothing like that if i use the key to lock the car and the noise only happens when i use the unlock button on the remote i can hear the romote locking kit click when any button on the remote is pressed do i have the right set up/ wiring diagram at the top of page 'B' any help i would be very thankful

[MadBaz]

No need to tap into the wires at the door, open fuse box and the connector at the TOP RIGHT (next to the fuse puller) should have the open/close wires from the drivers door. Pin 25 (2nd up on right, grey wire) should be open and pin 17 (4th down on right, green/red wire) close.

 

The indicator wire I wouldn't connect directly to earth as it seems the unit has an earth already. The gal as far as I know doesn't have a single circuit to operate both sides of indicators/side-lights, no need for the boot wire unless you just want to un/lock the boot, you still have to manually operate it past the 2nd position anyhow (not recommended, as it's far too easy to shut it with keys inside).

 

Apologies.
