problems with my alarm..

**redbond1** · 6-17-08, 0:11

the alarm came with the car and wasn't working at the time but all it took was a battery in the remote and 2 fuses but the trunk trip doesn't work and I need to hook up the hood trip still, it goes off when the doors are opened and the shock sensor works good but my problem is that it doesn't actually lock or unlock the doors with the remote, it is an audiovox prestige APS995 i'd just like to get it so it locks and unlocks the car, its a 94 LS 5-spd if that helps at all. also all the lights interior and exterior flash fine when the alarm is going off. thanks in advance.

Did you take off the stock alarm....

I didn't think 94 had them? and if they do I didn't think this one has it

Yes 94 had them

you need an actuator in the drivers door to do locks

I was told by the previous owner that it worked with the locks, i'm not very experienced with alarm systems.. what is an actuator?

i believe its a type of solenoid/motor inside the door that locks the lock when you push the alarm button. remove your door padding and have a look near the lock and see if you find it.

	Tired of burning up in your 6, my Mx6 has vent temps in the low 30's....I have the solution...Transform your 6 from a sweat box..into an ICE BOX.
