Remote central locking

Morning all.

Yesterday I fitted a Sigma M4 alarm to my 93 Golf GTi and on the whole things went quite well. The diagrams provided allowed me to identify all of the connections and I eventually figured out where to put them, with a few exceptions. So far I have the Ultrasonics fitted, the siren, the door trigger and the bonnet trigger, but there's also the option to wire in the central locking and the total closeure, this is where I'm stuck.

I've asked about and have identified two wire's in the drivers footwell, one green and one grey, that are supposed to control the central locking. I have yet to identify the control for the total closure.

The system uses a vaccum pump and pnumatic actuators, does anyone have any idea what I should do next?

Incidently the alarm provides two negative outputs to control the central locking, I'm yet to identify which locks and which unlocks.





A bit of slapstick never hurt anyone.

I have a 92 Passat, and was told that due to the vacuum central locking system, I would have to buy an electronic actuator in order to get the central locking feature of the alarm system to work.

I had considered that, but I have been told that it can be done as the pump is electronically opperated. it's also had an alarm system fitted before that used the wires I was told about.

Chris,
I'm not sure if this helps. On my '95 Audi A6 (which I assume is similar), all the doors can be locked using the key in the drivers door. This works (I think by a microswitch on the door lock - could this be used ?

Cheers for the responces guys, I think I've found an answer. The two wires in the driver kick are 12V+ lock and unlock and the two wires left on the alarm are 12V- lock and unlock, each with a 1 sec pulse that can either be increased or decreased via a keypad connected to the alarms ECU. It should just be a case of converting the + to the - using a relay in the configuration shown here:

I haven't connected it up yet, but I'm gonna give it a go shortly. I'll let you know what the result is when I have.

Thanks again.

Or this one on a different wire if that doesn't work:

Solution number one does the trick. I can now get the doors to unlock on disarming, but there's a fault with the alarms ECU and it wont lock on arming. A replacement is on it's way and the next step is remote total closure.

Thanks again guys.
