Hello,
I recently bought a 1988 Classic which had, at one point, an aftermarket keyless alarm system. This system has been removed by unplugging the alarm module. Everything works as it should save the central locking (and the sunroof, but that's for later and possibly unrelated to the alarm).
When I opened the driver's door I found an actuator which is different not only in form but also in brand than the others in the other doors. The actuator in the driver's door has a total of five (5) wires going to it, two for the actual powering of the little motor and three to control the system. These (3) wires had been cut. Of the three wires in the door (which have different color coding) one is hot. No matter how I interconnect these three I always get a short. I do have a wiring diagram for the '88 and this one shows only two control wires
.
Is my suspicion correct that the actuator has been changed and is not the correct type for this car, BUT if so, how do I have to wire it as, even if I use only two control wires I cannot find a correct way of connecting it
. When I power the motor wires the central locking in the rest of the car locks/unlocks depending on the polarity.
My sunroof is something else as it intermittently stops working, it does not seem to be that little gizmo which is supposed to stop it when open, up or down. It more seems like that the feed is sometimes suspended, I still have to investigate and measure if and when and where I get "juice"
Thanks for your help
Andre
