wiring question Options

i was wondering if anyone new what wire goes hot when you hit the lock/unlock button on your remote... im trying to power something of this circuit and i figured someone would know where i could tap into it.

off the top of my head...

you say remote so I assume you have a stock or aftermarket alarm, can tap into the wire off that for your door locks, but I dont remember if that goes negative to allow it or if it actualy sends the power. look into the door lock actuator that has power. or the control module for the door locks (probably your best bet)

more importantly what are you gana be running when you hit the locks, its just gana give power for a few seconds, cant do much, also dont wana take to much power from your locks either they need to have enough to work.

got some neons on my car and i was gonna have them flash when i hit my remote so i can find my car easier.

car has the stock alarm on it, i know theres enough power, most of the interior lights light up when you hit the lock/unlock button, just trying to get into the circuit before it goes to a certain part.

oh, ok just need to wire them into the parking light (+) from the alarm, i dont remember if the stock alarm blinks the lights or not but if it does let me know and I'll find out which wire it is that sends the power. your factory alarm is under the driver seat, and the wires just go under the carpet to it, one of them (if it blinks the lights) is what you want to tap into, however this means that it will also blink the neons when the alarm goes off.

Don't forget to use a SPDT relay. Otherwise you risk drawing too much power from the circuit and causing problems.

This is what i have... im going to try to find a pinout for it, but if anyone already has it, feel free to post it
