system is found in late-model Nissan Sentras, some Nissan
240SX, and Nissan 300ZX 1992 and later. It is also found in
older Mitsubishis, and some early Mazda MPV’s.

found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock

■ Three-wire switches will have either a constant ground input or
a constant (+)12V input, along with the pulsed lock and unlock
outputs to the factory relays.
■ Many BMW’s and VW’s have no external switch. The switches are
inside the actuator, and instead of pulsing, the proper wires will
flip-flop from (+)12V to (-) ground as the door locks are operated.
■ Direct-wired switches will have a (+)12V constant input and one
or two (-) ground inputs, along with two output leads going
directly to the lock motors.
