My installation was relatively simple -- pressing an unlock button opens four doors and a rear hatch together, no extra diode or relay was needed. Of course you could choose to be more selective as to which door to open but that will require adding a relay or two.

Below is my own note from the installation...

<---------712T-------------><------Jeep XJ----------->
pin#--color-----use------>>><<<<--
H1/1 -- RD --- +12V supply ------- RD ------- C1-7 (ignition switch)
H1/2 -- BL --- 2nd unlock output -- not used
H1/3 -- BK/WT1- domelight input #87A --- not used, maybe later
H1/4 -- BK/WT - domelight output #30 --- not used, maybe later
H1/5 -- GN/BK- all dr lock output-- OR/VT ---- C305-6
H1/6 -- WT/BK- lock #87A normally closed --- not used
H1/7 -- VT/BK- all dr lock input-- chassis ------- GND
H1/8 -- BL/BK- all dr unlk output------ PK/VT ---- C305-7
H1/9 -- VT --- all dr unlk input--- chassis ------- GND
H1/10-- WT --- park lights flash--- BK/YL ---- C201-45
H1/11-- BK --- GND ---------------- chassis -- GND
H1/12-- BN --- horn honk ---------- BK/RD ---- C1-1 (horn switch)
H1/13--GN/BK-- factory alarm disarm ---not used
H1/14--WT/BL-- CH3 output ---------not used
H1/15-- YL --- switched ignition -- DkBL ------- C1-9 (ignition switch)
H1/16-- OR --- ground when armed output --- not used
H1/17-- RD/WT- unlock #87A normally closed --- not used



1. Ignition switch connection to YL line doesn't seem to do anything. I thought that connection enables horn and parking lights activity when key is inserted and turned to ignition without unlocking with a FOB? Parking lights work fine when locking, unlocking, or when pressing the star button, and horn honks when pressing AUX/lock, AUX/unlock, or with the star button.

Tapped wires for ignition harness under drive side dash panel. Ground and power from the same area. Lock and unlock I tapped right after the connector as it leads out of the conduit from the door. What am I doing wrong?? THis is driving me nuts.

heres a link i found for the clicker $63 and comes with instructions.

The orb he is referring to is in the center, overhead console. You'll know what he's talking about if you have one. But I will try to take a picture of mine, either tomorrow or the next day and post if you still want.
