TESTING: Door Locks
There are three basic types:
“Type A” Door Lock Test (Most GMs and some Chryslers)
Probe both of your door lock wires going to the door lock switch usually located in the driver’s kick
panel. Probe the lock and the unlock wires, the test probe will show a (-) negative and the GREEN light
will glow bright on both the lock and the unlock wires. Press and hold the lock button on the switch
and test the lock wire. The correct wire will test (+) positive and the RED light will glow bright.
Release the lock button and this wire should show a (-) negative and the GREEN light will glow bright.
Now press and hold the unlock button on the switch and test the unlock wire. The correct wire will
test (+) positive and the RED light will glow bright. Release the unlock button and this wire should
show a (-) negative and the GREEN light will glow bright. Your vehicle has a “Type A” door locking system.
Make sure to mark which wire is lock and unlock. Connecting Door Locks. NOTE: “Type A” and “Type C”
locks will test the same. Make sure you run both tests before making your connections.
“Type B” Door Lock Test (Most Imports, some newer Fords)
Probe both of your door lock wires going to the door lock switch usually located in the driver’s kick
panel. Probe the lock and the unlock wires, the test probe will glow both GREEN and RED (dimly) on
both the lock and the unlock wires. Press and hold the lock button on the switch and test the lock
wire. The correct wire will test (-) negative and the GREEN light will glow bright. Release the lock
button and this wire should again glow both GREEN and RED (dimly). Now press and hold the unlock button
length of the clear antenna. It will perform best if mounted vertically, below the dark windshield
tint. Never leave antenna in headliner. Range is up to 800 feet.
Each receiver is tested to more than 400 feet (800 feet, E models) of clear air reception. While
many times you will see a higher range. Many factors will affect the range, including the amount
of radio signals in the area, battery
strength, window tint, etc.
